Christine Ellenburg Vanderbilt University
"Unequivocally Yes "
Samantha N Vanderbilt University
" In just six weeks, I grew tremendously as a performer and a student. The instructors were wonderful, and with plenty of performing experience, they were able to give us great advice on how to perfect our skills. I also enjoyed taking voice lessons with a woman who had a long career in opera. I was amazed at how much I improved ..."
Kacie D Vanderbilt University
"It's more a matter of what I didn't learn, because I learned so much. Belfast is a great place to learn how to relate with others and understand everyone's perspective, given its history."
A student Vanderbilt University
"I became more self sufficient and adventurous. I don't think Australia provides cultural awareness in the same way countries with a language barrier do. However, there is a whole other perspective of the world because Australia is this far off land that gets left off the map. Yet it has so much to offer, people should really tak..."
Mallette A Vanderbilt University

"yes it was an incredible experience."
Mackie A Vanderbilt University

Leah H Vanderbilt University
"It was an incredible experience to be able to see Europe at such length. Weekend trips to other countries and an extended spring break trip really allowed me to see tons of Europe."
Adam N Vanderbilt University
"There was a ton of room for me to add my insight during my internship. I am glad i was at place I felt this comfortable. "
Jessica J Vanderbilt University
"YES!"
Taylour C Vanderbilt University
"I grew a lot, personally. I learned to be more confidence and capable. I learned that people all over the world don't really know what they're doing either, and that's okay."
Kathleen A Vanderbilt University
"Anytime a student studies abroad they will learn a lot about whom they are and their standing in the world. They will learn about America and the host country. But, a true immersion experience is not found in the nightclubs (they are great in Prague). You learn from the people of the city more than the buildings or party spots. ..."
Eric K Vanderbilt University
"So worthwhile, it was the best decision I have ever made"
A student Vanderbilt University
"Learned how to live in a bustling European metropolis. Learned how to travel and navigate other european capitols. Also learned some Spanish, Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and Machine Theory"
William P Vanderbilt University
"I learned that no matter what the situation is, I will be okay. A theme from our Institute was "have personal Teflon," because you will undoubtedly have some strange situations. I was stranded in Paris, but I made it back to Vienna alright. There were some awkward "lost in translation" moments, but you don't let them stick to..."
A student Vanderbilt University
"I learned that there was so much about the world that I didn't even realize that I didn't know, and it really opened my eyes. It was absolutely worthwhile, and so much so that I am considering doing my post-grad abroad."
Brandy B Vanderbilt University
"I gained a better understanding of global culture and resolved to remain cosmopolitan for the rest of my life."
Nakul S Vanderbilt University
"Going abroad at such a young age is unlike any other abroad experience out there. For me, that level of independence helped me to know myself in a way that no other experience could have afforded. I know for a lot of students, the hurdle in this is parents who are concerned that their children are too young to embark on such a j..."
Student829 Vanderbilt University
"I improved my French and learned more about its culture."
Phillip N Vanderbilt University
"Absolutely, I learned so much about myself and about other cultures. I think it gave me a much clearer mindset concerning where we stand in the world."
Terral B Vanderbilt University
"I gained a greater appreciation for the world. It sounds cheesey, but I think in America we get so caught up in American politics and American issues, we forget how much else is out there. I realized how foolish I was for not knowing anything about Spanish politics when all the Spanish people knew so much about American politics..."
A student Vanderbilt University
"I gained so much maturity and independence, and I really feel like I know myself better as a person. I was so happy in Australia and it provoked a lot of thinking about who I want to be and what I want my life to look like."
