"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 met lots of people from many different countries and had the opportunity to travel in Europe. I also got to experience another culture and be completely on my own. I would definitely recommend studying abroad! I enjoyed Madrid but I was ready to move on after a few months, so I think a program that takes place in a few differe..."

"Studying Abroad is an amazing experience! I had already studied abroad before but this was a completely different experience. If I could I would’ve chosen a different program but that is just personal preference. You will meet people from all over the world, even from places you’ve never heard off. I can happily say that I now h..."

"Knowledge of moroccan culture "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"The biggest thing I learned was about digital advertising in British culture through my internship. The one thing I appreciate Arcadia for is setting me up with a great company, though it wasn't like that for everyone. However, I would do this program again solely for my internship."

"It was definitely worthwhile. Sheffield wasn't my favorite city, but it was a good university, and I learned a lot by being immersed in a new environment. I was able to meet lots of people and travel to other places as well. I feel more prepared for future travel and interactions with different cultures. I feel like I've grown a..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved my experience and I gained a great connection with my host family and abroad friends! Would I chose it again? I would say "yes" because of all the good experiences that I wouldn't want to miss. However if I were to go abroad again for a second time, I would search for a program with a larger variety of art courses and mo..."

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile, I was able to learn about myself as well as others who were very different from me. Trying new cuisines that I may not have tried back in the states, and experiencing situations I would not have been able to back home. This experience has allowed me to continue to keep an open mind, and forever plan..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I definitely improved my German and I am happy about that, but it wasn't because of my living situation.

Also making an effort to eat with German local students who wouldnt change into English helped ..."
