"Yes I definitely achieved my goal which was to learn as much Portuguese as possible."
Jose G The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, but I hated it."
Glen G The University of Texas at Austin
"Honestly haven't not improved my French and spent more money than I'd like to for a lesser educational experience I wouldn't do it again. Sure I learned cultural things but frankly, what good does that do me? Paris is cool and all until you have to literally pay for it everyday. The school and city are both wildly overrated in m..."
Hunter I The University of Texas at Austin
"It's a great way to learn to adapt. The university system is completely different in England and it was an adventure to learn how to deal with different circumstances. I would say any abroad program is worthwhile. You'll be put out of your comfort zone multiple times but at the end of it you'll be able to adapt to many things i..."

"Living in shanghai not only taught me that I want to live in Shanghai in the future, but it also taught me how to survive in a city that is not easily accessible to foreigners."
Lila B The University of Texas at Austin
"I have learned numerous things from my friends, not from my classes. "
Kyoung Jea L The University of Texas at Austin
"I think that if I didn't have this experience I would have wished I had and always wondered what it would've been like. But after actually going through it, I realized I could have lived without it. "
Sarah M The University of Texas at Austin
"it was worthwhile but not because anything arcadia did. i gained a sense of independence on my own and adventuring to other countries really made me focus more on cultural differences and world issues outside the perspectives of my own countrymen. i plan on returning to europe when i can again and am really encouraged now to lea..."
Victoria B The University of Texas at Austin
"I wish that my expectations of the students had matched reality. The program itself was very good and rewarding, but the students and their behavior detracted from my experience. I definitely feel like my time in Athens and Greece was worthwhile and I learned a lot and got to do and see things that have changed my life, but I wa..."
Alyssa W The University of Texas at Austin
"Although there were several difficulties, I am very glad I studied abroad. It was amazing to see the differences between the European system and our own in terms of transportation, politics, social aspects, etc. I really enjoyed the travel and meeting people from all over. I appreciate my life in Austin so much more than I did, ..."
Matt J The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile in that I traveled out of England as much as possible, which was relatively easy since it's so close to the continent. I learned that I really don't like living in England."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"yes it was worthwhile I had a great time"
Daniel F The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained proficiency in Portuguese and self-reliance. I've learned to live comfortably with little resources and now I have friends all over the world! "
Brittany C The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to appreciate more of what I already have. The entire experience was a wake up call to get my life at home in order. "
Morgan W The University of Texas at Austin
"The experiences I gained as an actor made my experience worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I really enjoyed it, but it was difficult to live with a host mother. I never felt comfortable in my living situation. That was really the only downfall, and that can be easily fixed. I feel that the experience just reaffirmed my academic interests!"
Amanda K The University of Texas at Austin
"yes definitely"
catie g The University of Texas at Austin
"I would have picked a different program, but at the same time, I am very glad that I studied abroad. Even if I didn't gain as much as I wanted out of Arcadia, I learned a lot about myself, and that made the experience worthwhile."
Miranda C The University of Texas at Austin
"YES"
Kimberly F The University of Texas at Austin
"It was a worthwhile experience. I learned that I can function in a foreign country, on my own, after a bit of an initial shock. I also learned that I don't really have a lot in common with Japanese people."
Alexis V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I met new friends from around the globe and acquired a much more global outlook. I do with that I had been more submerged in a new culture and that I had felt my classes to be worth my time. "
Sara B The University of Texas at Austin
"While I enjoyed the being in the country experience, I was really dissatisfied with the schooling."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"yes"
Carrie C The University of Texas at Austin
"I’m torn by this question because in some ways my study abroad experience was worthwhile, but in some ways it wasn’t. Having already traveled around Africa, I think if I was given the opportunity to choose again, I might’ve preferred an exchange program. For the amount of money my family paid, I wish I had more cultural immersio..."
Ashley W The University of Texas at Austin
"i would go back only if I was only traveling. "
Bryson H The University of Texas at Austin
