"Yes, the experience was definitely worthwhile. It is a great experience to see how society and political/educational systems are different in other countries. Also, especially if you have any interest in history, art, food, culture, or language, you get to see and experience things that pale in comparison to what you have access..."

"My study abraod experience was definitely worthwhile. I tried a lot of new things in Erfurt, such as aerobics, going to museums and concerts, going to clubs and parties with my friends (I just turned 21), and socialized a lot more in Erfurt than I did with my friends at UT Austin due to the fact that it was easier to manage my t..."

Connor B The University of Texas at Austin
"It was more than worthwhile. It really did make me more open minded, more sure of myself and sure of what I want, more confident and more empowered. One surprising effect of learning so much about another country was that it made me more interested in my own country. Seeing a contrasting view of how another country handles thing..."

"I'm going to include a poem for this, "The Men Who Don't Fit In," by Robert Service: There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Thei..."
Christopher S The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was well worth it! I loved every minute of it. Although at times, I was challenged academically or learning new customs, I wouldn't change it for a second. I learned so much about the idea of home isn't where you live but it's rather the people and attitude you have. Your host family and friends abr..."

"It was the smartest/best decision I ever made. Everything about it made me a more interesting and worldly person from travelling to the international friends I made. It was the most incredible experience of my life and truly words dont describe it. I wish I could do it again!!"
Suny G The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved study abroad! Best time of my life. I feel like my outlook on America and the rest of the world has drastically changed and I learned so much in classroom, but gained personal experience and knowledge outside of the classroom that money can't buy. It was everything and more than I had hoped for. Every student should do i..."

Euvelester . The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a lot of knowledge and perspective from this program. I really enjoyed all of the lectures and planned activities, particularly meetings with community members and leaders. The program did not meet my expectation of being physically challenging, nor did it incorporate aspects of public policy and government issues as mu..."
Katherine L The University of Texas at Austin
"This was the most incredible journey of my life. Learning and interacting with Ghanaians has greatly increased my cultural awareness of Ghana and West Africa. Conversations with other students about race enhanced understanding between black, white and brown students - I don't think we would be having those discussions in a reg..."
