"A girlfriend, friends, language, love for a new culture"
Ricardo E The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much more about myself and had the opportunity to travel more than I ever have been able to. Yes, I was frustrated with spanish sometimes and anxious about being around so many Americans, but overall it was an amazing experience to live/learn in such a beautiful country. "
ELYSSE A The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned more of the Italian language and was assured that my plans to move to Italy were for the right reasons and was really something that I want"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Although the program was very worthwhile for me since I got to experience living in another country, adapting to the local lifestyle, and meeting and becoming good friends with many other exchange students, I realize that I would not choose to return to Singapore for study or work if I had the choice. Personally, the country is ..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to be more understanding of others, open minded, and just continued to expand my borders. It was definitely worthwhile. I know this exchange and internship experience will help my network, language skills, and future job prospects. Pieces of my reviews may have been a bit harsh, but that is just due to my high level..."
Saul T The University of Texas at Austin
"Yeah it was fun"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Even if something seems really hard and stressful, if you really think you can do it, you'll do it. It was definitely worthwhile."
Mary A The University of Texas at Austin
"My time abroad was awesome. By doing a direct enrollment in a rather isolated part of the world, you really learn to fend for yourself. Unlike being in a program, your friends aren't chosen for you. You really have to be outgoing and immerse yourself in order to make friends. Luckily for me, my classes were small and interactive..."
Vicky W The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about daily life in Russia. My speaking skills increased somewhat, though I wish I had worked more on them."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worth while"
Alison T The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to cook for myself, how to eat healthier, how to juggle my education and living independently."
jordan.grant.524 The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that we (people from all over the world) think the same. "
simhyun91 The University of Texas at Austin
"If I had to do it all over again, I might pick a place with sunnier, warmer weather where I could do outdoors things all the time and there was a bit more cultural difference. If you don't really wish for rich culture, want to live in a small town, and don't mind constant rain, go to Dunedin! "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a good deal about how to live on my own and deal with immediate, novel life problems without much support. I also was able to use the different context to better understand my own motivations and goals and what I really wanted from myself."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I mostly learned about myself and how to move to a new city and start over. I definitely think it was a great growing experience and worthwhile. It was also great to be able to travel much more easily than here in Texas. But I'd like to warn you: if you have any problems with anxiety or mental distress of any kind, it will bubbl..."
Kelsey M The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that many overseas schools are run very differently than US schools and it is easier to meet local when you live in a local area, not on or near campus"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a greater understanding of the Chinese language and culture. It was definitely worthwhile because my sole aim was to learn the language."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I mastered the Chinese language and made great friends. "
ana.worrel The University of Texas at Austin
"Don't expect foreign people to know your customs and expectations or even respect them. Worthwhile to be able to travel and live in a different country. "
monica.jml The University of Texas at Austin
"I am very flexible and adaptable. I can live without hot water and air conditioning. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned about different cultural perspectives and had the opportunity to practice speaking German. Yes."
Anastasia D The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how incredibly small Europe is. I also learned that Germany is the best place to watch a World Cup, ERASMUS students (students in the EU) study abroad almost exclusively to learn a language and are not accountable for their GPA while abroad, and that John Travolta was right in Pulp Fiction when he said that Europe is b..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Being an international student was a bit tough, it took extra effort to "fit in". Traveling was a great fun and so convenient. "
Ann W The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was completely worthwhile. I was able to gain contacts working in the types of positions that I would love to see myself in 10 years down the line. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"How to embrace and adapt a different lifestyle and different culture; how to be more independent; appreciation for home"
