Beth M Providence College
"Yes. It was an incredible experience living in a different country. "
Dennis L Providence College
"Yes, travel, new cultures, new food. It was all worth it. "
Michael S 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
"It is amazing how much someone can learn outside of the classroom when studying abroad, the internship showed me the way of international business and just getting to know the international students in my foyer expanded my knowledge of geography, politics, and point of views immensely."
Marilyn V Providence College
"the greatest impact on my time abroad has been the community service aspect. i had no idea what i wanted to do after college, but after having spent time in the classroom, i would love to teach english in a spanish speaking country.it was tough work, but so rewarding at the same time. "
Sigourney C Providence College
"The worst thing about the study abroad experience was the PEOPLE in the program. We just didn't click.. people coming to study in Paris are just not people I would hang out with at home. It was an absolutely amazing experience being here and doing the program, I just would suggest looking up the people you'll be studying with be..."
Rachel C Providence College

Matthias C 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

Lauren B 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
"Academically, it was a great experience, it wasn't really a 'break' from school like some other programs though. You really are challenged, but in a good way that makes you think in different ways and on different levels. Socially, I met some really great people, maybe not friends for life, but we got along and had some really..."
Emily S Providence College
"Most definitely"
Paul S Providence College
"I feel like I have changed a lot. I've become much more independent and open-minded, willing to try new things, and more sensitive and aware of different perspectives and ways of life. One of the best things about this experience is that I really got to get out and see the world, undoubtedly something I will never forget."
Katelyn C Providence College
"It was the experience of a lifetime. I am much more interested in the world outside of America. Also, this experience has added interest in the field of international marketing. I realized how many opportunities American brands have to take their companies international."

This experience really helped me to m..."

"I loved studying in Australia! The country is so beautiful and so diverse, and it really gave me a new insight into respecting other cultures.
