"I learned how to manage my time and the amount of outside work that I needed to complete in order to preform well in my classes. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. Living in a foreign country alone is difficult. The first thing you learn is how much you feel like you're missing out at home - your family, pets, friends, food (a very big thing), the weather, etc. It might make you feel lonely if you don't find people you really click with right away. But it's great exposure to pe..."
Jeanie S The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. By experiencing another culture, I learned a lot about my own. I made a lot of good friends and traveled a lot, which I greatly enjoyed."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"How to have a good time. Yes."

"I gained the ability to speak Chinese freely and listen fluently. The experience was definitely worthwhile, but I only said I wouldn't do it again because of how difficult it was. Not saying I don't like a challenge, but living in China is not something I'd want to do again right now."
Dillon K The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about myself and what's important for me and what I like and what I don't like. The program allows you to make friends with the other exchange students, other Americans and international students, and I would say that is the best part. The friendships you make are wonderful and I think it's a great experience to ..."

kablaam The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about myself and my own culture and well as Japan from studying abroad! I'm definitely glad I went, I wouldn't trade it for the world!"
Kylee S The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about myself abroad. I learned how to take days for myself and go to a museum alone if I couldn't find anyone to join me when I was free. I learned how to live away from my family and friends and to be more independent. It was definitely worthwhile, everyone should study abroad. "
katie.samuelsen The University of Texas at Austin
"Yeah it was fun"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Being abroad is an incredibly enriching experience. It is worthwhile My advise is to carefully select a program. The program I used was great, but not for me. I would have preferred a program that allowed more freedom in where i stayed and what trips i took."
Ellen A 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
"I mastered the Chinese language and made great friends. "
ana.worrel The University of Texas at Austin
"The best thing I got out of my study abroad experience was really gaining another perspective. Because all of the classes I took were taught in English, the classes were composed of mostly international students. One of my classes was a weekly three-hour discussion about global issues and ethical thinking. Until now, I have o..."
Hannah L 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
"Definitely worthwhile, but it requires a certain type of student and personality. You really have to be on op of your work and balance your time while abroad. There was so much freedom with the program, so that could possibly be problematic with some people. "
Taylor F 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
"It was definitely worthwhile. I really got to experience a whole new world. I just wish that I had picked an exchange program..not an affiliated one."
tanzina.islam.90 The University of Texas at Austin

Anastasia D The University of Texas at Austin
"Learn more about culture and improved my language skills. "
Heath C The University of Texas at Austin
"I came into contact with great design that I could only witness in that part of the world, which was amazing. I challenged myself in navigating a whole new city and filling my days with new experiences. I talked with people and made a couple of sweet friendships. It was worthwhile. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Copenhagen was fun and the people are nice, though they may not seem like it at first glance."
