Best 4 months of my life
February 17, 2026by: Tyler Owen - United StatesStudying 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!
Best Time Ever!
October 30, 2025by: Sydney Meigs - United StatesI studied abroad this summer in Florence with WorldStrides and it was truly an amazing experience. I was able to immerse myself in a new culture, grow in unforeseen ways, make new friends and so many memories that I will forever cherish.
LOVED my time abroad with WorldStrides!
August 09, 2025by: Vivian Mergler - United StatesI had an amazing experience studying abroad in Florence, Italy! The housing was in a fantastic location, just a short walk from the city center and all the landmarks. The school itself was both challenging and exciting—there was always something new to learn, and the professors were passionate about what they taught. The staff was incredibly helpful and made sure everything went smoothly, from settling in to offering support throughout the semester. One of my favorite parts of the program was the weekend trips we took to nearby cities and sights. It was the perfect balance of academics and exploration. Highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a memorable study abroad experience!

I have a passion for travel and learning about history and culture. My passions even influenced what I chose to study in college. I have been lucky enough to travel internationally a lot with my family, but I always wanted to make it a goal of mine to study abroad and live and learn on my own.

When my best friend Francesca and I decided to study abroad, we knew our biggest obstacle would be getting our parents’ approval. We wanted to find a program that would give us the experience we were looking for while allowing our parents to know that we were safe. The application process was a long one but ISA made it so easy to find the right country and program.
