Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I gained so many hands-on skills from my internship. My internship allowed me to work with a sports team which I wouldn't have been able to do in America. I also become more independent and self-confident through living in a foreign country. It was a completely worthwhile experience."
Meghan Watkins University of Rhode Island
"Absolutely worthwhile, I learned how to work with a group of people under stressful conditions and close quarters"
Katie C University of Rhode Island
"Study abroad was certainly the most worthwhile experience I have ever pushed myself to undertake. I learned all the cliche lessons that you read from study abroad alumni - they only sound so cliche until you take the jump and do it and realize they are all true. I feel more independent, more self-sufficient, and confident in my ..."
Amanda Bednarick University of Rhode Island
"I learned different tips, techniques and helpful tools that I will continue to use as I continue my education and further enhance my career as a health studies major. This trip abroad was well worth my time, and I would 100% go back again to continue improving my knowledge. "

"My time abroad gave me the most memorable months of my life. I learned so many skills in independence, financial planning and travelling! I can now travel anywhere with confidence and excitement.

Kelsey Young University of Rhode Island
"While abroad, I grew as an individual and was able to discover so much about myself that I never knew. Being in a different country forced me to break myself out of my shell and try new things. Me, a once quiet and shy girl, never would have imagined making so many friends and doing crazy activities like jumping out of an airpla..."
Kristen Dove University of Rhode Island
"While I was abroad, I grew into the person that I am today. I am a strong and independent woman and before I studied in Israel, I was sheltered and did not realize how much more was out there in the world. The lifestyle, culture, and sites of Tel Aviv are incredible and if I could, I would do it all over again, even the summer h..."
Shayna M University of Rhode Island
"I actually didn't realize how much my experience abroad changed my ways of thinking until the months following my return. I've started to analyze my interactions with the rest of the world differently, it's made me feel more comfortable in my skin, and has helped me lay down concrete goals for myself that I want to achieve. One ..."

"Absolutely 100% worthwhile. I learned the language, the culture, learned to put my phone away and take it all in and that traveling is really my favorite thing. "
Hailey Piemonte University of Rhode Island
"While on this trip I learned a lot about my major aswell as myself. I learned that I am capable of living on my own even if it is on the other side of the world. I also learned a lot about my major that you can't learn in a classroom. I can honestly say that CAPA and Sydney changed who I am for the better. I am incredible gr..."
Joe C University of Rhode Island
"It was definitely worth while for me. Although I did not do as well academically as I had hoped, I had an amazing time and met the most interesting people from all over the world. I've never been in an environment where being an American is a huge minority. It was very interesting to see what other people thought about America/A..."

"I experienced so much culture while I was abroad in NZ. I learned about the Maori and took a class about it at the University. The experiences I had while away broadened my perspectives about different countries and cultures because I met people from all over the world. It intrigued me to travel more in the future after I gradua..."
Bethany M University of Rhode Island
"I am now more open minded to eventually living in another country whereas previously I may have ruled it out as not feasible or worth the effort. I see now I couldn't have been more wrong!"
Oliver P University of Rhode Island
"I am more willing to branch out and meet all kinds of people and have shed some of my shy ways. I have a better understanding of the Italian culture, and even a better appreciation of my own. This experience has inspired me to take life slower to appreciate every moment, and I have even changed my mind about what I want to do ..."
Caitlin S University of Rhode Island

Sarah B University of Rhode Island
"My experience abroad was AMAZING, I grew so much as a person . The friends I made while abroad I will remember and keep with me forever.

A student University of Rhode Island
"Going across the world to study abroad not knowing a single soul was one of the craziest and scariest things I have ever done. But big risk big reward right? RIGHT. My experience abroad was unbelievably rewarding in so many ways and a lot of that I owe to TEAN. I learned things about myself, others, different cultures, and so mu..."
