What Students Are Saying
"My study abroad experience in Pau, France greatly increased my
knowledge and understanding of the French culture. As a Foreign Language
major, I understand the importance of clear communication between the
peoples of other countries. My professors helped me to understand the
fine points of French grammar and improve my French conversational
skills. Study abroad is absolutely a worthwhile experience for college
students, especially Foreign Language majors."
-Maria Alena Scavone
"Studying abroad not only improved my Spanish speaking skills, but
opened my eyes to a different culture which I love. I am 'hooked on
Spain' and plan on returning in the future."
- Austin Smith
"I loved studying abroad so much that I plan on visiting Valencia every summer until it is not possible to travel any more."
- Kim Barako
"Studying abroad was definitely an eye-opening experience. I am
thankful I took the trip. I had some great experiences and met some
wonderful people. I would defintely recommend studying abroad to anyone.
Just go into it without expectations and an open mind."
