Past Review Spontaneous
I gained more independence, friendships, different learning techniques to help me study and studying abroad was definitely worthwhile. I wish I could go back to Australia now but I know that will have to wait. - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review

Past Review Just Go For It
It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It boosted my confidence, it gave me strength I never knew I had. It was something beautiful that I will treasure always. - Simmons College View Entire Review
I learned to understand different cultures. I had always made assumptions about people, but now I do not until i know them. I also learned to provide for myself, and if I had a problem I could not just go home, I had to solve it on my own with my best judgement. I grew up from this trip and am now more independant - University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass View Entire Review
Extremely worthwile and learned a lot about Australia as well as grew personally. - Eastern Connecticut State University View Entire Review

There are some questions you may want to ask yourself, and research to be done, before choosing a study abroad program – but our LGBTQIA+ students have amazing experiences abroad and often find local LGBTQIA+ communities to be a part of.
