Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I gained a sense of independence and self-reliance that you can't get from staying in the U.S. No matter how far away your home is from your home school, it is easy to call mom or dad and figure it out. In Italy, there are obstacles in the way and overcoming them will make you stronger person."
Patrick S University of South Carolina - Columbia
"I could speak forever about how worthwhile my two trips abroad have been. I wish I could've stayed forever, and it's only a matter of time before I figure out the next way I can get back there. I have gained life-long friends from all over Europe and all over America that I made wonderful memories with. I gained knowledge about..."

"After studying in Granada, I learned to adapt and become more accepting of different people. I made close friendships, and still keep in touch with those friends today.

"Wow. My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. If I could do it again, I definitely would. There are times that I wished I would have picked a more typically South American country - like Peru, but in the end, I loved Argentina and Buenos Aires. It was great living in a country where everyone talks about sports and po..."
