"It was interesting considering issues outside the lens of the American media."
loogandeebord The University of Texas at Austin
"This experience truly changed my perspective on the world, and therefore my life, as cliche as that sounds. I don't really know how to describe the manner in which it did so, or how I've changed in all the minute ways, because after hearing people talk about it but then experiencing it for myself, I really believe it is somethin..."
Kaley B The University of Texas at Austin
"I definitely think that we have much to learn from people abroad in terms of the way they live. Japanese people are very welcoming to Americans, and are definitely curious about our lifestyle. If the occasion calls for it, I would love to return to Japan, whether to visit friends/family, or to work."
Anthony F The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot during my time abroad. I learned about a different culture, I learned more Spanish and I learned how people function in developing countries. I was certainly impressed by some aspects of public health in the Dominican Republic, so much that I think we can learn a thing or two from them here in America. I also ..."
Mohammed M The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained more independence. I gained my parents trust in me to be more independent. I learned a lot about myself and my goals in life. I had an extremely difficult time abroad in the best possible way. I made friends that i'll never forget. I had host parents that I sometimes liked more than my own parents. I wish I could do it ..."

Danny W 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..."

"Doing study abroad has really help shape me and and my future. I now know what I want to do specifically and I will push myself even more to achieve my goals."
Alicia S The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned many things with AIFS Rome. I learned that to really know about someone you have to give them the chance to show you their life and culture. You must live as they do in order to understand their views on life. By immersing yourself in the culutre of a country is how your knowledge of things grows, when you get out of h..."
Betsabe R The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience abroad has opened my mind to new people, languages, and daily challenges of communication.

I have grown as a person, and from my first time abroad I have gained confidence to do this a few more times. ..."

"Every moment was worth it. It is incredible to think of my time living in Copenhagen, experiencing the culture, meeting new people, and adapting to the European way of life.

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"This year abroad was everything and more than I ever wanted out of a study abroad experience. Although my academic experience was off to a rough start, after changing for the second semester, that was completely fixed, and I was very happy with my change. I grew exponentially as a young woman, and this year shaped me into a mo..."
Lisa G The University of Texas at Austin
"Studying abroad was (as cliche as this sounds) the best experience of my life. there is literally nothing like it. You have the opportunity to put a hold on "real world" stresses and responsibilities and let yourself become part of this other world. planning ahead of time made me feel comfortable and confident that all my ducks ..."
