"I ENJOYED BEING ABROAD AND TRAVELING. I REALLY ENJOYED ISLAMIC CULTURE IN SPAIN- IT WAS THE BEST CLASS I COULD HAVE TAKEN. I WISH THAT I HAD BEEN IN A BIGGER CITY WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO TRAVEL TO OTHER CITIES. IF I WAS DOING IT ALL OVER I WOULD PROBABLY GO WITH A DIFFERENT PROGRAM- ONE THAT OFFERS AN APARTMENT WIT..."
Melissa B The University of Texas at Austin
"I had so much fun traveling on the weekends with the other students that I met. All the kids in the MPA program were really nice and we all got along. One of the classes was interesting and the other was painful, but didn't last too long. Overall I am extremely glad that I took this opportunity because I got to meet some fun peo..."
Nicola V The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I loved how each city I visited was different. The French can be incredibly nice and wonderful if you show them you are making an effort to understand their culture. I saw so much history, and I had the most fun just wandering the streets without dealing with all the touristy attractions. I can'..."
Stacey C The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes it was worthwhile, I gained valuable experience for my future career, which I would have otherwise not learned."
Aubree D The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved the experience. It was great getting to live in Ireland and become a part of that culture and get to make so many new friends. Every experience was a bonding one and while the cold was something hard to adjust to, now it's just one more story to tell everyone. I would recommend this program to anyone."
Kimberly K The University of Texas at Austin
"Hell yes!"
Shawn B The University of Texas at Austin
"YES"
Josh C The University of Texas at Austin

Jay K The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was not what I had expected. I was tricked into thinking the school I would be attending would be in Tokyo but it was in Chiba. This led to me spending more money on transportation to go into Tokyo and also not being able to stay out longer than 11pm or i would not make the last train to my home when p..."
Lily Y The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was more than worth it. I learned what true conservation does (and does not) look like, everything there is to know about coffee, and that there are no quick fixes in life."
Marissa L The University of Texas at Austin
"As I tell everyone who asks, my study abroad experience was a non-replaceable, priceless time. While the academic component was not as strong as my home university, the experiences I had there and the non-book knowledge I gained go way beyond the classroom. This semester gave me so more out of my college years than a degree- it ..."
Amy T The University of Texas at Austin
"Had the best time of my life, wish I could go back tomorrow"
Lauren I The University of Texas at Austin
"This experience was worthwhile. I have a different outlook on life and have gained more confidence in myself."
Van Thuc (Thuc-Van) N The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely worth it! I grew as a person and learned a lot about myself and my values. Italy was a beautiful country that taught me to worry less about the small, trivial things in life. I cannot ever fully explain how my abroad experience affected me mainly because I am still finding new ways that I see that I am a changed or be..."
Katherine C The University of Texas at Austin
"Completely worthwhile, I would do it again in an heartbeat!"
Taylor B The University of Texas at Austin
"I very much think it was worthwhiled. It was an experience unlike any other experience I have had. The differences were what made it worthwhiled. To experience a new culture is unlike anyhting else. "
Randal S The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile, and one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I realized how just the small things in life affect you in ways you don't even know until they are completely changed on you. I think everyone should study abroad. It really puts our way of life in the U.S. into perspective. I've always thought..."
Rebecca W The University of Texas at Austin
"I now have a much better feel for what sustainability could mean for the rest of the world. Germany has been a great case study in general for my architectural career. "
Kathryn C The University of Texas at Austin
"It was special to expand my horizons in such a faraway place and making lasting friendships with people my age that live across the ocean. It was a 10/10 experience"
Daniel F The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile. The country was beautiful. I liked seeing the US from an outsiders perspective."
Aditi A The University of Texas at Austin
"It was an amazing experience, and for sure worthwhile. It made me understand how the europeans have a whole other conception of how the world should be. It also helped me narrow my choices for graduate school. "
Ramon I The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, extremely (see comments)"
Mary S The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. My language skills improved a lot, and I had the opportunity to assimilate into a culture different from my own. I learned a lot about myself, matured greatly, and had a lot of fun. Studying abroad in Japan let me not only improve my academic skills, but also taught me how to live ..."
