Best semester of my life!

After four incredible months studying abroad in Milan, Italy at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, I'm leaving with so much more than academic credits. This experience challenged me to think beyond the classroom and gave me a global perspective on business, communication, and collaboration. Taking courses alongside students from around the world allowed me to work with people from difterent cultures and backgrounds while experiencing international business in a way that simply can't be replicated in a traditional classroom. I am especially proud to have earned Dean's List during my semester abroad, recognizing that I could perform well academically while adapting to an entirely new country and educational system. Living in a foreign country pushed me to become more adaptable, independent, and confident. Navigating language barriers and unfamiliar environments reinforced the importance of effective communication and the ability to embrace new challenges. Beyond academics, I had the opportunity to travel to eight different countries, experiencing new cultures, perspectives, and ways of life. Exploring places outside the classroom showed me that some of the most valuable lessons come from immersing yourself in unfamiliar environments and learning from people with different backgrounds. These experiences broadened my perspective and reinforced how valuable travel is in developing curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around us. I'm incredibly grateful for this once in a lifetime opportunity and for the experiences, friendships, and skills that I'll carry with me throughout my life. Thank you, Milano, for four unforgettable months!!!

I lived an unforgettable experience!

I studied abroad in Italy for my Spring Semester and going into this, I was incredibly stressed. But WorldStrides made all the difference in my experience. They provided all the resources that I felt I might need for any situation. They took us on some excursions during the semester and they were well planned and super fun! I would go on another study abroad trip with WorldStrides.

Incredible experience!

I have always wanted to study abroad, but I never expected an experience like this one, as provided to me through ISA. Milan was an absolutely incredible city, and ISA led me through the changes perfectly, with clear instructions and constant open communication. If you get the chance, study abroad with ISA- the community this company builds among students abroad is unmatched, and the quality of employees is exactly what's necessary for a dramatic change like going abroad.

My second home in Milano

There are not enough great things I can say about the program in Milan. It was an experience that was once in a lifetime. I had the chance to study the Italian language and culture first hand with support from amazing advisors both state side and those on the ground with our program in Milan. I had the chance to live in an apartment in a residential area surrounding by Italian daily life as well as expanding my language abilities and become more fluent in Italian. There were many sponsored trips to experience Italian culture as well as visit cities and towns outside of Milan. While they were there for us in terms of support, we had the freedom to explore and learn more about the city on our own. Because of my experience with ISA in Milan, I have developed relationships with locals as well as contacts with other international students and professors. This experience and this program allowed me to learn more about myself as well as call a new country my second home and a place I am itching to return to.
