At the Study Abroad Office, we strive to answer all of your questions - including the ones you haven't even thought of yet!
The benefits of world travel are universal, no matter where you study. Inspiration can be found anywhere you go, whether it's in the architecture of castles and cathedrals, the wilderness of the Outback, the mountain ranges of Northern Italy or the local communities where you will stay for the duration of your experience.
Every destination will have a friendly and supportive program director or international office to guide you along the way, helping you achieve the most out of your time away. Each country, each city, and each university has its own distinctive character - something unique that will ultimately draw you to your best choice! So, let's get started by considering them all and begin exploring your future!

ferrah w University of Hartford
"Everything was great, the weekend trip was a bit rushed, but I was living with some kids from the Butler program and they got to do some crazy stuff like bungy-jumping. It would have been cool if they set up flights to and from Ireland for us."

"My study abroad experience was defiantly worthwhile! I do not regret any minute of it.

raman s University of Hartford
"Very worthwhile. I gained a great knowledge and appreciation for travel and people you never thought you'd meet. It is such an ironic experience given the random placement of students from all corners of the world put into a temporary situation such as learning to get accustomed to foreign living. When really, I learned more tha..."

David K University of Hartford
"I loved Australia, no questions about that. I learned how to live on my own without ties to a place, and how to establish a life outside of my comfort zones.

Bridget M University of Hartford
"I can't say enough how great this program was. I think about it everyday and I wish that more people knew about it and applied.

I am so grateful of the time I shared with the people on this trip and I miss all the friends and faculty I made and I plan on..."
