My Spanish experience
October 01, 2026Rory Hetz - United StatesProvider: WorldStrides
I really loved living in Seville for a few months. The architecture is so beautiful, which was my favorite part because there’s not many historical buildings in the Unites States because of how young of a county we are. The food was amazing and the program made me feel more at home in a foreign place. I really loved the nightlife and the social aspect of traveling abroad because it made me feel like I was a part of a community. I would definitely go back to Spain in a heartbeat. I also really loved Portugal, so I would definitely recommend people to visit Europe if they ever get the chance!
Great program! Best semester ever!

This program is amazing for anyone looking for cultural immersion, language immersion, incredible field experiences, and resume building research experience. Class is literally watching lions in the Serengeti.
A life changing opportunity
October 01, 2026Brooke Su - United StatesProvider: SIT Study Abroad
I had a really impactful experience studying abroad in Tanzania in 2020. The teaching staff were all so valuable, insightful, and friendly, and we as students all felt taken care of during our time there. I learned so much through hands-on experience in the national parks on safari and learning Swahili while staying with my host family. This semester abroad has left a lasting impact on me and I hope to visit Tanzania again in the future.
An unforgettable experience with TEFL
October 01, 2026Anushka Pretorius - South AfricaProvider: The TEFL Academy
Program: Online Level 5 TEFL Course
My experience with TFL was truly life-changing. From the moment | arrived, the team was so supportive and made me feel at home. The program was very well organized, the classes were engaging, and I got to meet amazing people from all over the world. I learned so much not just academically but also about myself and different cultures. The accommodation was clean and safe, and the activities they planned outside of class made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend TFL to anyone thinking about going abroad - it's worth every moment and I would definitely do it again.
Everything about this program was amazing!
October 01, 2026Joshua Connors - United StatesProvider: SIT Study Abroad
There’s not one thing about SIT Tanzania that wasn’t amazing. If you’re looking for an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, meet new people, and explore such a unique, incredible country, then this program is for you. From the incredible staff and unforgettable experiences I couldn’t recommend this program enough!
TEFL course review

Program: Accredited 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course $39 with certificate
Impressed is the word I'll use. Yes, there is room for growth by including a community chatroom or something and maybe having buttons that I could've clicked if I wanted to flag something rather than messaging, but these are trivial compared to what I got in terms of training. I paid little but got lots, and that's why I chose them, and that's why I will recommend them to others.

October 01, 2026Austin Koff - United StatesProvider: SIT Study Abroad
My semester abroad in Tanzania was life changing! A truly once in a lifetime experience that I truly recommend. The SIT program staff are the kindest most welcoming people you can imagine. Additionally, from game drives in national parks to home stays the cultural immersion and wildlife I was able to learn about and experience was amazing! I truly learned so much and had a wonderful time exploring Tanzania!
A great experience
October 01, 2026Maddie Krug - United StatesProvider: SIT Study Abroad
This experience was an amazing one. I grew so much as a person. Not only did I learn a lot, but the experience was so immersive that learning could be connected to real life examples. During this time I got sick, and the staff were nothing short of amazing. They all came together to help me in whatever way they could. The people, the classes, the country, it was all amazing. I can’t recommend enough to other students.
BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!!!
October 01, 2026Natalie Chumley - United StatesProvider: WorldStrides
This specific program truly blew my study abroad expectations out of the water. The staff and faculty were so helpful and responsive the entirety of the trip!! There was so much freedom involved and I had to learn how to live and adjust myself into the new lifestyle that I soon became engulfed in. I felt one with the people, place and culture. Florence was truly a magical place and had pure charm. It was so central for travel and easy to walk from place to place. The teachers did an outstanding job of creating a classroom and learning environment that was collaborative with not only other students, yet the Italian culture as well. Classes were highly educational, yet I did not feel as if i was drowning in school or work. The opportunities of adventure and trying new things were endless, I learned so much!!! As for rooming goes, I was blessed with the best three random roomates that genuinely made my experience what it was. We traveled to many countries together and made so many fun memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. We have already had a reunion back here in the states!! Overall I met so many amazing individuals throughout my Florence journey. I miss the people and the place every single day and would not trade my experiences for the world. I hope to be back soon Firenze!!!


I would do anything to do it all over again.
October 01, 2026Hannah Black - United StatesProvider: WorldStrides
Studying abroad in Rome, Italy for a semester through WorldStrides was an unforgettable experience. I loved being able to take business courses while also getting to experience Italian culture, travel, and everyday life in a new country. Living in Rome pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow more independent while making memories and friendships that I’ll always cherish. I would absolutely recommend WorldStrides to anyone considering studying abroad!
Great course!

I have great support here
October 01, 2026Ahsan Nourbakhsh - United KingdomProvider: New Anglia University
I am currently in my second year of the Premed programme at NAU, and one thing I have really appreciated throughout my time here is the support whenever I need it. I tend to have quite a few questions about my classes or things I am studying, especially when I come across something I do not fully understand. It is reassuring to know that I can ask and actually get an answer rather than having to figure everything out on my own. That has made the online Premed experience much more comfortable for me and has helped me stay confident with my studies.
Best semester of my life!
October 01, 2026Anabela Flosa - United StatesProvider: WorldStrides
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!!!
The best course ever!

Seeing Healthcare Through a New Culture
October 01, 2026Jennifer Mizota - United StatesProvider: Cerca Abroad
Program: Physical Therapy Shadowing in Greece
Hi, I am Jenny, I am from California, I go to San Diego State University. I chose this internship because I really wanted to immerse myself in another culture and get that new experience especially in the healthcare and medical field. It was very interesting to get a new perspective on how other countries work with patients and their techniques in medicine. I chose Greece specifically because I love the culture and the food. My first job was at a Greek restaurant and they’ve always made me feel like family and I really liked that. So I think coming here I wanted to experience more of that. Everyone here is so friendly. And the food, of course. And Cerca has been very helpful. They’ve been very good at communicating. If I’ve had a problem they would answer very quickly, so they’re responsive. I think everything was planned out very well. I didn’t have any issues with getting to work or anything like that. Everything was super smooth, especially picking me up from the airport was very helpful too. I think everything was really good.

Brilliant experience
October 01, 2026Tauriq Latief - South AfricaProvider: The TEFL Academy
Program: Online Level 5 TEFL Course
I absolutely loved completing the TEFL Level 5 Diploma course! From start to finish, I found the course incredibly interesting, engaging, and rewarding. The structure was excellent, and everything was presented in a clear and easy-to-follow way with a well introduction on how to navigate the course. The media content was phenomenal and really brought the learning material to life. I also really appreciated the academic quality of the course — I felt that I was gaining valuable, in-depth knowledge rather than simply working through a set of modules. What I enjoyed most was how much I learned along the way. I really appreciate the practice quizzes and extra curriculum activities. The course's assignments challenged me, expanded my understanding of teaching, and gave me a real sense of achievement when I completed it. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would wholeheartedly recommend the TEFL courses to anyone considering a career in TEFL. It was genuinely a pleasure to ccomplete!

The best thing i have EVER done
October 01, 2026Brooke Hermanson - United StatesProvider: SIT Study Abroad
This program genuinely changed my life. I’m not joking it really opened my eyes and allowed me to fully immerse myself in a culture extremely different from mine and very far away from home! It also allowed me to develop new communication skills as well as research skills. This is my most favorite thing to talk about and was definitely a huge contributor to what made me stand out when applying to vet school! With all that being said, the staff was extremely supportive and the kindest, brilliant people you will EVER meet. The staff is extremely hard working literally always and are a huge inspiration to me. I could not tell more people to chose this program. Truly once in a lifetime experience.

Best study abroad experience
September 30, 2026Isabella Beebe - United StatesProvider: Go Elective
Program: Physician Assistant & Pre-PA Internship Abroad | Go Elective
I went to Kenya mainly for the clinical experience, but I ended up getting much more out of the program than I expected. I enjoyed being in the hospital every day and getting to know the doctors and other students along the way. There were definitely things that took some getting used to, but that was part of what made the experience so valuable. I also really enjoyed trying the local food. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and I definitely ate more than I expected to while I was there.
