CU Students Who Studied Abroad Say...
| Name: Andrew “La Republica Dominicana. Wow! My experiences studying abroad in the Dominican Republic changed me. Every morning I looked forward to getting out of bed and finding a new adventure, exploring the new day. I was exposed to a world I had no idea existed, forcing me to forever look at life from a different angle. The people I met and the friendships I made will continue to touch me for years to come. Every student, if given the opportunity to study abroad, should go for it. I have never learned so much, especially about myself. "

| Name: Susan “I am very different now than I was before I went to Malta. Personally, I feel like a different person; I have a greater understanding and appreciation for other cultures and the only thing on my mind now is how and when can I continue traveling throughout the world. I have realized that there are many things that cannot be taught in a classroom… some things have to be experienced rather than taught.” |

| Name: Eric "Studying abroad was one of the best choices that I have ever made in my entire life. It is an experience that will make you grow as an independent person and foster a desire to travel anywhere and everywhere in the world. You can make your dreams become a reality and see places that others only wish they could see, while at the same time gaining a great education and appreciation of a rich, historic, culture. You'll come back to the United States not only appreciating the culture you learned from abroad but also the one you have waiting back at home. The experience will change your life forever. It's a guarantee."

| Name: Kelli "When you return from study abroad, you will know the world as no one else can because you have explored it personally. You will see new cultures, acquire new tastes, create new friendships and my favorite part- you will learn and grow from each of them. There is definitely something about living in a foreign society for a semester that forces you to step outside not only American boundaries, but also your own. And once you have realized this, you will forever want more."

Ashley (New Zealand). "Studying abroad was a life-changing, rewarding, and eye-opening experience! What are you waiting for? Seize the opportunity! Start researching and discover something new about yourself, the country, and culture. This experience will forever be with you!" |
Rebecca (Spain). "The people I've met, the experiences I've had, and the trips I've taken while living abroad will forever be remembered as some of the best memories in my life! I could not imagine being an international business major & not having the experience of living in a different country for a year while getting to know their language and culture. My advice for other Creighton students considering studying abroad: This is an opportunity that you shouldn't pass up!" | |
Katy (New Zealand). "I absolutely loved the country, Dunedin, and especially the people I met. It was the most beautiful place I'd ever seen, the people are friendly, and the pace of life is slower. I only wish I could have stayed longer because one semester went by so fast. I learned many new things every day that I wouldn't have learned at home, I got out of my comfort zone, and I have a whole new perspective. I think this is an experience that no one should pass up." | |
Megan (England). "My semester abroad was the most amazing experience of my life. The chance to meet so many different people and see how they lived helped me to realize how much bigger the world is beyond the United States. Those five months changed me forever, and I'm so glad I took advantage of the chance for that to happen.” |
