"I could not have asked for a better study abroad experience. The things I learned and the qualities that I gainded as an individual could not have possibly been acheived to this extent had I not gone abroad. Studying abroad allowed me to understand how precious time is. Instead of becoming stressed over trivial matters, I geared..."

"My study abroad experience was one of the, if not the best experiences I have had in terms of learning about myself.

A student Providence College
"I learned so much about so many different countries. This was pretty much my first time in Europe so getting to live in Ireland was amazing. I was also able to travel to other countries during some of the school breaks, which was definitely worthwhile! "
B Providence College
"I gained more from the experience than I can put into words. Before I left, I talked to friends who studied abroad and all they could say were positive things. I am in a very similar situation. All I can say about studying abroad is: go, do it, I have never met anyone who regretted their experience."

Jacqueline M Providence College
"Yes "
Caitlin G Providence College
"Definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot more independence, because at PC (and probably at most colleges) you are living apart from your parents but you still live in this bubble community where you're on a campus and everything you need is right there. Living for the first time in a city where I was forced to take public transport..."

"The study abroad experience is one of the most worthwhile experiences I have ever had. It forced me to step beyond my comfort zone. It forced me to accept that there are things that are beyond our control, but that is ok, you can still enjoy an experience that you do not plan every minute of, sometimes things happen when you hav..."
