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.

"I learned too much to type out. It was definitely worthwhile. Life-changing. But, it's really what you make it. I really tried to adapt and immerse myself and that helped immensely. I think it's a must for all university students. "

Amanda C Trinity University
"Learned a great deal of Chinese and became close to my classmates. I was also very satisfied with how much time I had to explore Shanghai. It was worthwhile but the program definitely needs to be improved. "
Campbell1 Trinity University
"I have definitely improved my language skills dramatically. I went to Harbin knowing a lot of vocab, but being very uncomfortable with having a conversation. Now I feel very confident in speaking!"

A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about ecology, and the dangers facing Brazil's remaining environment. I learned that I am capable of traveling independently. I learned that Brazil has the loveliest and warmest people who love to share their culture with others. It was worthwhile, but in retrospect I probably would have chosen a program that pla..."

"I gained a lot more independence. By the end of the semester I could live and travel completely by myself, I felt totally self-sufficient. I also met some great people and made connections that will last for a long time. "
Laura T Trinity University
"I gained an appreciation for a world and a culture much bigger than myself. Compared to Europe, America is basically a new country, and Europe was just so full of history, cultures, and traditions to learn and partake in. I also found a strength and an ability in myself that I wasn't sure I had- I jumped headfirst into situation..."

"My Chinese improved so quickly and dramatically I still haven't processed the idea that I seriously would spend days and days without speaking a word of English. I am planning to try to recreate many of the dishes I got to taste in China over the next semester because it was so healthy and delicious. I was homesick a lot of the ..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself and how I react when I am by myself, so that was good. "

A student Trinity University
"I had never been out of the US, so it was eye-opening and educational. I could only take Spanish classes because of the program, and so not having all of the rigorous business classes made me very relaxed. I really appreciated a semester of "Spanish time"."

"I learned a lot about myself during the three months I was abroad. "
Alexis Karagas Trinity University
"I learned how to manage my own money, to find my way and read maps, to keep myself safe while still being able to make friends, and to generally be more independent. I would consider those things very worthwhile."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to travel alone and have fun with it, rather than stressing too much. It taught me how to be flexible, things will not always work out as planned but they will most likely work out in some way. This experience was invaluable, and has made me a much more independent person. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself and my personality. My classes were interesting and thought provoking and often very relevant to my situations. "

Kate B Trinity University
"really got to know Turkish culture and Turkish people"
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about the kind of person I was being on my own. The more of the world I saw, the more I realized how much I still had to see. While I wouldn't do the program again, it's really hard to have a bad experience abroad."
Emily H Trinity University
"Yes, it was very worthwhile. I think the most valuable thing I gained was friends from all over the world, who I will definitely keep in contact with."
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about flexibility, and being comfortable in a different environment. I also learned a lot about being on my own, as there was not a sort of structure to the experience. "
A student Trinity University
"While I learned a lot about Shanghainese culture and improved my Chinese, I also learned that I'm not the biggest fan of the great trend of globalization that has overtaken Shanghai. "
