"Definitely. I loved going abroad. I had so many amazing experiences and learned so much about the world. I saw so many things. I would not give up my time in Spain for the world. I fell in love with Seville and the people of Andalusia."
Elizabeth D Providence College
"YES! Living in Paris taught me just how different another country's culture can be and how different definitely doesn't equal worse. I now have a strong desire to travel much more in my life, and am considering looking into work internationally once I complete my undergraduate degree."

A student Providence College
"My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. I learned so much about myself, my country, and the world. I highly recommend to anyone to study abroad because it forces you to change your perspective and become more open-minded."
Pamela D Providence College
"I have gained a new sense of self. I'm more confidant. I feel I know myself better. I feel very fulfilled. My French has improved, but it could have improved so much more, but I have been enriched in other ways. I have had a life-changing experience."
Alex L Providence College

A student Providence College
"Learning to adjust and accept different cultures. "

I also came back with many life-long friends that made the experience even more en..."
Kelly M Providence College
"I learned the different aspects of Italian culture, I learned to appreciate the language more, and I look forward to using what I've learned here for when I come back in the future!"
Catherine M Providence College
"Yes, I learned so much about the world and it made me want to go back as soon as I can. It made me want to travel everywhere around the globe, but at the same time come to understand how amazing my own country America is."
Kerry D Providence College
"I learned how to become even more independent than I had to when I left for freshmen year at PC. You don't have your family around you, so you really have to do everything and learn everything by yourself. It was definitely worthwhile and has prepared me for the real world. "

"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I would do it again in a heartbeat."
Christina L Providence College
"Yes"
Annie B Providence College
"To be honest, Spain was much less academically rewarding and more rewarding in a personal sense- I learned about my strengths, weaknesses, came to terms with things that I need to work on, pushed myself, and changed my way of thinking to adapt to local culture. "
Sarah F Providence College
"I learned to be more independent and I now know I can live anywhere that my future sends me. "
Alexandra G Providence College
"I gained a stronger sense of independence. I also gained the confidence to know that I can meet new people and just join a new culture. I loved the English style of "reading around the subject" because it allowed me to pick which areas of the course I was most interested in and it held me accountable for my own work. "
Tara M Providence College
"absolutely! i learned a lot about how to study and i'm more independent, and it prepared me for the busy senior year i have ahead of me"
Julia T Providence College
"so much culture! learned a ton about me!"
A student Providence College
"I feel far more culturally aware and also loved the opportunity to study and live around pieces of art that I will spend my life writing about and examining. At the same time it was strange to see this historical city filled with clubs and a dedication to less than intellectual activities."
Rachel W Providence College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a ton about culture, myself and just living slightly out of your comfort zone. Traveling most weekends gave me the opportunity to see many places I probably would have never otherwise seen. Academically it made me much more awake of European nations, cultures and how they view Americans. "
Christine B Providence College
"I've met a lot of great people and I got to see a lot of the country."
Beth M Providence College
"Yes."
Kyle M Providence College
"It was a great experience, the only thing is that i wish that i could have taken classes that would have counted towards my major. Also though ireland is a lot of fun it is quite difficult to visit other countries because of the distance not only to the the country itself but you have to put on an extra 3 hours to get to the air..."
