"I want to travel and experience different cultures as a result of this program. Also, I would like to learn other languages to be able to better experience different cultures and possibly study abroad again in the future."
Chelsea H The University of Texas at Austin
"This program changed my life. It has completely altered my future plans, and I actually want to consider graduate school in Africa now. It's not something I can easily explain to someone else, it's something that has to be experienced. "
Autumn W The University of Texas at Austin
"It has made me a more globally aware citizen. I will never take for granted what I have here in America again/"
Hannah W The University of Texas at Austin
"I honestly learned a lot about myself while being in Japan. I learned what part of me I felt was truly defining and what part existed in the context of American culture. I also learned a lot about the American mindset by being surrounded by a completely different. I would say more, but that would spoil it for those of you hop..."
Nauder N The University of Texas at Austin
"This program affirmed and inspired me to follow similar styles of worship as a church musician. It was great to see firsthand how the Anglican worship is being practiced, especially with the choristers/choirmasters and the organ scholars. Their work ethic and their dedication to this service, both young and old, were exceptional..."
Kaori C The University of Texas at Austin
"I would not take back my experience for anything. I learned so much about myself, and I got to know so many great people. "
Jennifer : The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained valuable experience being an adult, an individual, and a scholar. The French student work ethic was inspiring. The level of competence and knowledge that the professors had was highly refreshing and inspiring as well. "
Cody O The University of Texas at Austin
"I had an amazing time studying abroad in China. The program I was on was a little less than what I expected, due to a pretty bad program director, but the people and the chinese classes were great. We had Chinese roommates who were so much fun and all of the kids from the other schools were great. The city itself is so exciting ..."
Madeline S The University of Texas at Austin
"DEFINITELY!! I would love to go back and enjoy it all over again!"
Shannon M The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile for me. I took classes I would never have taken at UT (I am an engineering major) and I really challenged myself academically that way. I wouldn't say it has changed my academic plans, but studying a different kind of thing improved my work ethic and attitude toward studying. "
Thomas J The University of Texas at Austin
"It was absolutely worthwhile. It has encouraged me to move after graduation. "
Scarlet N The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, I went to religous places I never thought I would have gone. It brought me closer to my own religous practices. I also volunteered with a group of Latinas now living in London and that was eye opening. "
Karinna P The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes it was worthwile, made me more adaptable"
Ashley S The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worth while and I would definitely choose it again, simply because it was the only Japan program offered at UT for the summer. My experience was amazing only because of when I went out and explored the city; not because of all the little things the program itself did for me. But, the program gave me an excuse to g..."
Ashley S The University of Texas at Austin
"Japan really has a lot of culture embedded into their society so it's interesting to compare it to the American way of life. It was overall a very good experience. My eyes were open and I received a more realistic view of what Japan was really like. I think my original concept is that Japan is like a dream world, but when it com..."
Hannah C The University of Texas at Austin
"YES!! Santander was worthile for me. I would like to come back and visit again! :) "
Jocelyn S The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely, it was the best time of my life."
Claire J The University of Texas at Austin
"The cultural and abroad part was amazing. I made life long friends from my host country and so many wonderful and challenging experiences. I gained a lot more spanish speaking skills from immersion than any class I took. "
Lauren C The University of Texas at Austin
"Study abroad was so much fun. I have to say that I learned plenty about something I never thought I would. The Czech republic has a huge amount of history, art and film to offer. I believe I am a better global citizen. You learn the differences about being educated in America and being educated in a different counrty. You realiz..."
Michelle M The University of Texas at Austin
"All the money, time and stress pre-departure was TOTALLY worth it. I would not change a single thing about my time abroad and now I am SO eager to travel to Europe again and see everything that I didn't have time to see. I still keep touch with my friends from my program and they will be in my life forever. "
Lauren A The University of Texas at Austin
"It has been one of the best experiences of my life. I had a great time because I got to get immersed into the French culture and practice the language. I meet a lot of people from all over the world and got to travel to a lot of places in Europe. If I could I would do it again. "
Paola C The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile in the sense that it made me realize that I DON'T like Japan that much and DON'T want to live and work there like I had originally thought. In that sense it saved me the trouble of getting a job there and being committed to living there for several years and likely growing to hate it. I learned a l..."
John D The University of Texas at Austin
"I thought my time abroad was perhaps one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The people I met and the places I travelled will stay with me for the rest of my life. I feel obligated to express my feeeling of how opening studying abroad can be for expanding both your academic goals as well as personal experience. In shor..."
Timothy S The University of Texas at Austin
"I could not have asked for a better study abroad experience. I went into the program without expectations, not fluent in the language and cautious of the French stereotypes. This made the experience much more worthwhile as I was able to establish my own opinions on the country, the university, and the people. Although I'm an int..."
Melanie J The University of Texas at Austin
"It made me more confident about my future. "
