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!

"One of the biggest things I really took from my experience in Ghana with ThisWorldMusic is that your "normal" is just cultural. I knew this before the trip, but only on the most basic level. Being in Ghana showed me not only what the culture there is, but that I really do love cultures that aren't my home culture. It was amazing..."

A student University of Hartford
"Although I did learn quite a lot a better phrase would be to say that I advanced dramatically as a human being. I could write a thesis about what I learned and how everybody should do a term abroad.

"How diverse and interesting cultures really are. Yes it was."
alex v University of Hartford
"There is a sense of maturity that falls upon someone who studies abroad on their own. Based on where I came from I always believed I could adapt to any culture, and after this experience I was proven to be right. I was on my own, and don't get me wrong, I would have loved to go with friends, but in all honestly I think someone i..."
Jesse M University of Hartford
