Here is what Study Abroad alumni are saying about going abroad!

"...One of the best parts about Oxford was being able to study history, I took western civilization, and we were able to go to museums and see the art and see the sculptures that were the things we were talking about in class, especially English classes and things like that.  It really helps you visualize what you're learning."

      - Rachel Fair, Oxford

 

Waiting at the Bus

"I became more confident and fluent in Spanish, I did well in school, I actually called Montevideo, a city three-thousand miles from Texas, my home, and I got to travel the world and see God's creation.  If I had to put my experience in one word, I would say it was incomparable."

      -Erin Rutledge, Latin America

"I would tell incoming students about studying abroad that they definitely should do it. They shouldn't let any of the problems that go along with it, the financial struggles or the worries about missing things on campus, they shouldn't let any of those keep them from doing it because those are, really in the scheme of your life, those are pretty small problems compared to the experiences you're going to have."
        - Jordan Pownall, Oxford

 

Venice
"It was absolutely worth the financial cost to go to Oxford. I know that while it was expensive there were a ton of ways to receive funding through ACU, I know you can receive Honors Grants for doing contract work while you're over there; if you have scholarships here they will apply while you are in Oxford. "

-Bryan Weber, Oxford

"I got to go to places I haven't been before like Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay and it was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of people whom I still have connections with"

      -Bruno Morales, Latin America

 

Iguazu Falls

"Upon seeing Iguazu Falls in person, I was simply awestruck.  My experiences traveling to Brazil will have a lasting impact on my heart.  It is extremely difficult to express how beautiful the falls were and how amazed I was to think that the same God who created those waterfalls created me as well."
