Every student has a different experience in another country because success usually depends on how adaptable the person is to their new surroundings. Some students are more open-minded to a different culture than their own. Sometimes a student may have a difficult experience because they are not mentally prepared to adjust to a new cultural environment.
“I chose to study in Madrid, Spain at a private university for one semester. I had no difficulties finding an apartment with a group of Erasmus students from different parts of Europe. My credits were transferred with no problem. Not only did I get to improve my Spanish, but I had an opportunity to see a new culture. It was fantastic! I would recommend it to everyone.”

“One of my most memorable college experiences has been studying abroad at the University Aix- Marseilles III in Provence, France. I had a wonderful time exploring the Provence region, learning the language and meeting people that have been brought up so differently from me. I can relate much better to people who come from other countries and have a better understanding of diversity. This experience will help me a great deal when I am working in international business.”

“I had always wanted to go to Italy and when the chance arose at college to participate in a study abroad program in Florence, I couldn’t pass it up. My experience was everything I could have imagined and more. It is such a beautiful city with great food, art, history and fashion. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever encountered. Everyone was nice and the classes were great.”
