I studied abroad in Prague, Czech republic, with ISA in Fall, 2025. I had an amazing time in Prague, the program and its staff were amazing and went above and beyond to give us a good experience in their country. ISA provided us with amazing housing, an apartment close to the city center, and free transportation passes so that we could go all around the city for free! We were also provided with any resources we could need, medical, academic, etc. I felt very comfortable with the staff and could tell that they wanted very much for everyone to just have the best time possible. In addition to the facilities we were provided, we had the opportunity to explore other parts of the continent, with hotels, food, tours and most fun of all getting to be with the rest of the program members and friends. The trips, both day and overnight were so fun and completely paid for. I would reccomend going in your program provides these events. My favorite places events that ISA created were, Vienna, Thanksgiving Dinner, Cesky Krumlov and Berlin :) I also had a great school Anglo american university; this school was very warm and welcoming, with small classes and lots of club events and even a garden full of peacocks in the back of the school it was very easy to make friends, even more so than my time at my home university. I am forever grateful to all of the ISA's staff; Daniela, Lucie, Yachim, and Tomas were so kind and helpful, I felt like they werent just staff but friends too. Im so happy that I got to experince this study abroad in Prague, and will forever miss the city, experiences and all of the friends i made there. I highly reccomend this program to everyone, and think that they should take full atvantage of what is offered, make as many friends as possible, make time both to travel and to appreciate the country they are in, and Cafe 80's, Cafe Alchimista, U sudu, U fleku, and eat beef goulash. This experience, made me grow and I came back happier, more confident and more open to the world and people around me :)

Studying abroad truly was a life-altering experience. Worldstrides made it easy to understand the process and they were very helpful in answering any questions and providing assistance pre-departure, during, and have even been in touch after. I've made friends I will hold on to all my life and made so many special memories. I feel so much more open to change now and I am sure this will stick with me for the better!

Studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. I arrived feeling anxious and homesick, not sure how I would adjust to living so far from home. Stepping outside my comfort zone was intimidating at first, but quickly became one of the most valuable parts of the experience. Sevilla pushed me to grow. Navigating a new city, strengthening my Spanish, and adapting to a different pace of life forced me to become more independent and confident. I found community everywhere I went and comfort in my own independence. Beyond the personal growth, I gained a deep appreciation for Spanish culture, from daily life to traditions and community values. The friendships I formed with locals and the perspective I developed reshaped who I was and continue to be. I left Sevilla with the best memories, confidence, and an understanding of how important it is to do things out of my comfort zone. If you are nervous about studying abroad, so was I, but it is so beyond worth it!
