"It's not where you are. It's who you're with. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I met new friends from around the globe and acquired a much more global outlook. I do with that I had been more submerged in a new culture and that I had felt my classes to be worth my time. "
Sara B The University of Texas at Austin
"my study abroad expericen was worthwhile. i enjoyed classes at SNU and im glad that i became friends with local students since i might work in Korea after graduating. "
Miseung K The University of Texas at Austin
"i enjoyed the experience but would have done a different program"
Amanda S The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I got to live in one of the most interesting cities in the world with a Spanish family, that opened my eyes to the world outside the US. "
Spencer L The University of Texas at Austin
"Great but I wish I had chosen a smaller city"
Virginia H The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, but I hated it."
Glen G The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, only thing wrong was the drama that the other students wanted to partake in. Sometimes it felt a little like being in a small high school. I tried my best to avoid the drama but could have done even better by making plans with people I met during the program and trying to do something worthwhile in the city every day."
Kelsey S The University of Texas at Austin
"In all honesty, this program was a degree requirement."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that I am thankful for the university of Texas and all that it gives me."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to adapt to things I never thought I'd have to get used to (for example, the cleaning ladies cleaned the bathrooms by plunging the mops into the urinals and mopping the ground with it ... by the way this is a girl's bathroom... I wish I were lying). Somehow at HKUST doors can be broken (?!) and prevent you from get..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot with regard to the Spanish language and culture and about many other international cultures. I got to travel and see new parts of Europe and meet all sorts of people."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was a great experience, but I would have enjoyed a bigger city with more engaged professors. The fact that there were so many American students and all the other international students spoke English made it difficult to stick to speaking German. The most important thing I learned was that I love Texas, my home, my friends, an..."
Margaret R The University of Texas at Austin
"I would have picked a different program, but at the same time, I am very glad that I studied abroad. Even if I didn't gain as much as I wanted out of Arcadia, I learned a lot about myself, and that made the experience worthwhile."
Miranda C The University of Texas at Austin
"I’m torn by this question because in some ways my study abroad experience was worthwhile, but in some ways it wasn’t. Having already traveled around Africa, I think if I was given the opportunity to choose again, I might’ve preferred an exchange program. For the amount of money my family paid, I wish I had more cultural immersio..."
Ashley W The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself, good and bad qualities. I also realized that maybe advertising is not a good field for me. I enjoyed the food and shopping in Hong Kong. I was pretty surprised at how westernized it is, even though I knew that it was colonized by England. It was different from what I expe..."
Caroline Y The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile in the sense that it showed me why I love being an American."
Annette V The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that I need to be more proactive when it comes to studying abroad and traveling. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I've learned a new language and about a culture different from mine. It was worthwhile. "
quique.garduno.9 The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about a culture I had no knowledge on. I learned independence and confidence. I am more comfortable with doing things by myself now. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to appreciate the resources that I have back at my home institution much more than I previously had."
A student The University of Texas at Austin

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile, we had some great food and saw amazing places. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. Learned a lot about the region and about myself."
Anne N The University of Texas at Austin
"You HAVE to advocate for yourself when something doesn't feel right for you. Even though my experience in the school was not the best, I learned that I will have to initiate conversation in order to get anything done. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
