Trinity University
University Information
The Study Abroad program at Trinity University is designed to be accessible and flexible. With proper planning, students from every major can study abroad productively in many different countries around the world as a part of their degree.
This is possible because Trinity's program is based on individually advising each student so that the term abroad becomes an integral part of the degree that meets academic, personal, and professional goals. As a result Trinity students participate in a wide variety of academic experiences abroad from studying in a foreign university classroom to academic internships to intensive language study to field studies - or a some combination of these things.

"My experience abroad was SO worthwhile. I learned about how to be more independent and especially grew in my self-confidence. I learned how to navigate random new cities without Internet, how to make friends quickly in hostels, how to force myself out of my comfort zone in order to have exciting new experiences, how to allow mys..."

"I learned to be independent, confident, and liberated. I've never learned so much in so little time while enjoying every second of my experience. I would stay here forever if I could. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about my dad's culture (He's chinese) and even more about the culture. This was huge for me, being a dual heritage kid. "
A student Trinity University
"Studying abroad is the best experience I've had in my life so far. I learned so much about Chinese culture and I eventually learned to think like a Chinese person. Going to China also helped me to see that I do want to live and work in China at some point in my future. Going abroad really helped me to act independently and I lea..."

Leigh A Trinity University
"The travel was one of the best parts. I loved my teachers and got to know them on a personal level. My mom got to come visit me after my program and that definitely was a highlight of my abroad experience, showing someone close to me what I had learned over the semester."
Autumn G Trinity University
"Was it worthwhile? Ridiculous. It was worth every last second. I learned how feel comfortable chatting in Chinese with complete strangers, bargain like no other, and to take things in stride, both the surprising, shocking, and extraordinary, and take none of it for granted. "
Catarina G Trinity University
"I just feel so much more cultured, i realized there is life beyond the trinity bubble, and I definitely want to take at least one semester off after school to travel and see the world! "
Becca R Trinity University
"Going abroad, immersing yourself in a new culture and language, getting out of your comfort zone--all of these things are always worthwhile. But this program in particular is awesome. If you are serious about learning Chinese, then IES Beijing needs to be on your shortlist. "

"Yes, it was very worthwhile. I learned more about how my mind works and how the Chinese view different issues"
Christian S Trinity University
"I would honestly say that I have been transformed by my experience. The time flies by and you will not be able to see everything there is. Bars and social environments also open you up to the emerging youth scene. I look forward to returning to Beijing and China in general."
Taylor R Trinity University

"My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. It completely changed my perspective on China and my future career path.

"I learned not to take myself so seriously and appreciate the little things in life.

I think the biggest lesson though was ..."
