"Best decision ever made. Worth every penny and some. "
Iris C The University of Texas at Austin
"I had so much fun traveling on the weekends with the other students that I met. All the kids in the MPA program were really nice and we all got along. One of the classes was interesting and the other was painful, but didn't last too long. Overall I am extremely glad that I took this opportunity because I got to meet some fun peo..."

Jason G The University of Texas at Austin
"I wouldn't say it opened my eyes or was culturally enriching, but I did have a great time getting to see a part of the world that I otherwise might not have ever seen. I didn't learn how to be a better global citizen, but I did notice cultural differences among the different countries I visited, and how they view tourists."
Kevin R The University of Texas at Austin
"I am such a better person because I did this. I went to Valencia to learn Spanish, but I accomplished much more than this. I gained the best friends I've ever had and got to travel to France, Italy, Morocco, and all around Spain. I had the time of my life. "
Charlotte M The University of Texas at Austin

"This year abroad was everything and more than I ever wanted out of a study abroad experience.

Joanna C The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a great deal about the cultural differences between the Netherlands and the United States and how they influence the social policies of each country. We looked at the advantages and disadvantages of different Dutch policies and why or why wouldn't they work for the American system. "

"Super obviously worthwhile, my Chinese improved fast and consistently. Gave me a huge confidence boost speaking Chinese."
Benjamin B The University of Texas at Austin
"This experience was definitely worthwhile. I wish I had stayed for a year and I am already trying to figure out if I have time to study abroad again. This program gave me a lot of insight into the every day lives of Czech citizens and has made me much more interested in language and European history. I am also definitely plannin..."
Michaela T The University of Texas at Austin
"Same as previous question. "
Erin G The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, yes, and yes. The Maori worldview is beautiful, and we should all take a lesson from them. The biculturalism inherent to their history was new to me, and it's nice to see a country that is trying hard to embrace it's indigenous roots and heritage. As far as how it's impacted me, I'd say that I better understand foreign p..."
