Kimberley S Providence College
"I had thought that I wanted to live in Guayaquil for at least some of my life and this trip just confirmed for me that the positive aspects of the city outweigh the negative aspects. Having an internship there gave me a foot in the door if I want a job with them in the future. "
Megan M Providence College
"It was entirely worthwhile. I learned a new language!"
John R Providence College
"In addition to taking five classes and an internship, I was able to travel to many places I'd been dreaming of visiting and I learned more from the children in my Austrian classroom than I could have done studying German in an American classroom."
A student Providence College
"Best experience of my life. I learned that their are other ways to live besides "the American way". Really opened up my eyes to other cultures in the world- We are so sheltered in America. I made great new friends. I am so happy with the program-It was absolutely worth while..I wish I could have stayed longer!!"
A student Providence College
"I HAVE GROWN SO MUCH AS A PERSON AND LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF. I DEFINITELY WANT TO RETURN TO SPAIN TO TEACH OR WORK ONCE I GRADUATE."
MEGAN M Providence College
"Absolutely. My study abroad experience was much more culturally enriching than I ever thought it could be. I was nervous and skeptical before I left the United States, but I am so happy that I chose to step out of my comfort zone and go to Barcelona."
Jennifer S Providence College
"It was extremely worthwile! I learned that I am more independent than I ever thought before. The thought of traveling alone isn't as scary now as it was before. I'm so glad I studied abroad for the semester and it makes me want to travel more when I'm older. "
Briana D Providence College
"Yes it was worthwhile because I learned about a different culture and gained knowledge about a different way of life."
A student Providence College
"I have learned more about myself, become more independent, and made lifelong friends. There's nothing better than losing yourself in a culture and realizing that along the way you've gained so much more than you'd ever thought possible. It's not even possible to explain in words; it really is an event I believe can only be exp..."
Nadine Z Providence College
"My abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. The people I met and the places I went have impacted who I am and allowed to me to grow as a person. "
Mary Nora L Providence College
"It was extremely worthwhile. I experienced things i could not have otherwise. My only complaint was my Australian program leader- she was extremely unhelpful and often times discouraging. Besides that my experience was a one in a lifetime. "
Kristina G Providence College
"My study abroad experience was unparalleled. I am more open-minded about other cultures and by the end of my experience I felt like a Florentine "local." As a history major, I was inspired by what I learned and saw. I was able to improve my Italian language skills as well. Also, the ability to travel all over Italy was wonderful..."

Corra M Providence College

John S Providence College
"I was the only person from my school to ever go on this program and I also went their knowing noone.. this helped me learn how to meet new people and live independtly. my travel skills have also become amazing. I am glad that I pushed myself to go to such an unusual place because it was probably the best thing I have ever done!"
Courtney C Providence College
"I was home for about 2 days and restless to go back. I now have plans to live abroad in the future and to visit Galway as many times as i can throughout my lifetime."
Colleen L Providence College
"I became more independent and mature. I loved being abroad in Europe and I would like to maybe volunteer or study abroad again during law school."
Kristen C Providence College
"I have become FAR more independent as well as responsible. I now know that I could take on so many challenges in life, by myself, because I just lived in a foreign country, with a language I didn't know and was able to do it for four months...and made it a memory that is engraved in my mind. "
Elizabeth R Providence College
"Gave me a new perspective on the world and myself. I found out how little I knew about not only Australia but America as well. Gaining an international perspective is a little scary at first but interesting and worthwhile in the end because it makes you see the other side to the story. "
Mike M Providence College
"best 5 months of my life"
Kathryn T Providence College
"My study abroad experience was one of the, if not the best experiences I have had in terms of learning about myself. Not only did I become more confident, but I learned what it is that I want in my life and how I want to live my life. I am now a lot more aware of what my life goals are and how I would LIKE to achieve them."
Caitlin R Providence College
"I gained worldly insight on a variety of issues. Also, I now understand how different cultures operate, yet have maintained the same academic and career goals. "
Brent M Providence College
"Absolutely"
Zack G Providence College
"It was worthwhile. I proved to myself great things about my endurance and intelligence. I was able to interact with different people, which has proven a useful characteristic when communicating. The reward of this experience cannot be fathomed completely in words, but if you are interested in this program and feel that it is ri..."
