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.

"It was worthwhile because I needed to see what would happen if I went abroad. I learned that I don't like to live alone and that I loved America even more than I thought I did. Some go abroad and don't want to leave, but I found an appreciation for where I was from."

"The goal of my study abroad experience was to figure out whether or not I want to go to graduate school for film production. My experience provided me with a clear answer (that being, film school isn't right for me) while giving me constructive insight on what it's like to work with others and mediate differentiating opinions.

"cultural relativism for me is no longer a given. I grapple everyday with gender and my ferocity for equality and being in the middle east put that into a very distinct perspective. There are no hard and fast answers and I haven't found any but I'll continue having conversations about it and trying to figure things out for the re..."

"Yes, a lot. Extra credits!"

"I had never taken classes in spanish. "
A student Trinity University
"I got to spend a lot of time doing the things that I wanted to do. I met an amazing girl who lived in Austria and I really liked the classes. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned that all cultures have good and bad; one culture isn't "better" than another, although different people can of course fit into different cultures better. I also learned it's quite easy to gain weight eating bread and cheese... ;)"
Sarah A Trinity University
"I learned how not to panic when I get lost. I learned to read body language much better and to interact with people whom I don't share a language with. "
Trevor F Trinity University
"Looking back on it I kind of wish I would have gone to a warmer and more culturally distinct country like Spain. I do not enjoy cold weather even though I am from Sweden. I am happy I studied in Scotland though, I learned a lot about myself and their educational system. I feel like I have become a more efficient student because ..."
Rebecca R Trinity University
"Yes, I greatly improved my speaking skills and I loved the ISP project. "
Dana McLaughlin Trinity University
"My experience in Sevilla was mainly cultural. The classes at the University did not present a challenge to me and I did't feel like the educational aspect of my semester abroad was worth it. However, getting to know such a different culture was a really great experience. "
Eliana V Trinity University
"Yes. I expected more out of it culturally. But it was enriching none the less!"
Chiara F Trinity University
"I learned how to handle large amounts of reading and writing. I got a different perspective on economics than I would from Trinity. I met interesting people with strong opinions. I became much more familiar with the academic literature of economic development than I would probably anywhere else, though I sacrificed the chance to..."

"The program provided me with a more direct understanding of German history and how it is understood in the country today. The experience of living abroad has somewhat reinforced my confidence in my ability to pursue further professional and academic opportunities abroad, and has moreover offered a chance to compare the impact of..."

"Going abroad is worthwhile but I did not enjoy the school that I chose, which is unfortunate. However, the IFSA-Butler team were an amazing bunch and they made my study abroad experience so great. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot more Spanish than I previously knew. It was more difficult to make friends with local students than I thought it would be, and I didn't get to do as much traveling as I would have liked, but it was still worth it."
A student Trinity University
"definitely worthwhile"
Patrick G Trinity University
"It was worthwhile. I gained confidence and communication skills, as well as a sense of adventure."
A student Trinity University
"I gained more cultural knowledge than language knowledge in this experience. It definitely opened my eyes to lots of things I never thought was prevalent before. I would still look to work in China, but not in the near future."
James H Trinity University
"Seeing new places, making the best of situations, more about Belgium. Overall, definitely worth while."
A student Trinity University
"Yes"
Vikram S Trinity University
"Although my experience wasn't exactly what I expected, it was a highly valuable experience nonetheless. I learned a lot about myself, and it really challenged me to think through my future plans and my plans to go to grad school."
Abigail B Trinity University
"I learned how to be more independent. "

Rebecca R Trinity University
"Yes. There were lots of times when I hated being there and I just wanted to go back home. But in a weird way, I kind of like that. It lets me appreciate my home a lot more. Cambodia definitely has some beautiful sights and the Khmer are great people. But there's so much pollution and trash everywhere. It really got to me."
