TiaStudy in Mexico

I had a great experience on this program and would rate it highly overall. My advisor was excellent, and the in-country coordinators were also helpful. The program allowed me to meet my academic goals, as I received credit for the necessary courses. From start to finish, StudyAbroad.com provided strong support, even advocating for me while I was abroad, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend the program to others, as they took care of nearly everything, making the entire process easy and enjoyable.

AlisonStudy in Italy

I had an experience of a lifetime studying abroad in Milan, Italy. I took a Media Industry course at Università Cattolica and got a tour of Sky Productions headquarters. Each day was filled with an adventure and I got to see a lot of Italian culture. I met great people along the way and had the best pasta and pizza. On the weekends I traveled to Portofino and Bellagio. My favorite part about Italy was the food and all the beautiful places there are to explore. I am so happy I made the decision to study abroad! I had a good application process. My advisor was sweet and very helpful. The team replied in a timely manner.

EdenStudy in Spain

Honestly it was the best semester I’ve ever had. I met so many people and learned so many things. I found a new love for a different country. I would definitely recommend StudyAbroad.com to anyone who wants a life-changing experience!

AliciaStudy in Thailand

I have to say that what I remember, as much as the delicious colors and flavors of Thailand, are the people I crossed paths with—the other students who became such good friends, and the local Thais who showed me such kindness. And of course the food. I still dream of the food.

AJStudy in Northern Ireland

[Study Abroad was] a great learning experience academically and personally, a new level of independence that can be liberating and stressful, and an exciting way to travel and see new places!

TaylorStudy in Spain

Study abroad was an unreal experience. It was incredible to see so many cultures and to be fully immersed in Spanish culture. I was able to improve my language skills and overall gather valuable life skills.

BrenleyStudy in Bali

Studying abroad in Bali was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. The advisors ensured I felt confident with the plan every step of the way, and I felt supported, but also independent the whole trip. The excursions were definitely highlights, but the classes were also extremely valuable and I learned so much! I am so thankful to have had this opportunity, and feel as though I’ve grown as both a student and as a person because of it.
