"You are set in the level that is appropriate for you, with the chance to move up or down a level if you desire and getting to work with other students from all around the world which forces you to communicate with the foreign language."

"I knew nothing about travelling and had never been on an airplane or out of the country before in my life before coming to Australia. The study abroad cooridinator helped me organize my trip, and although I had no idea what I was doing, I ended up in Australia. Even though I was planning everything and keeping on schedule, I never felt like I was actually going to make it abroad. All the help I recieved from the study abroad office at EIU made my trip possible."
~ Emily L Evans, Central Queensland University, Australia, Spring 2008

"You are guided and there are many resources available but a lot of freedom. You learn how to handle things on your own. Met some amazing people from the UK and the US - still see people from the US for reunions."

"Study Abroad has allowed me to better understand the developing world and the many obstacles it faces. I have since become very passionate about alleviating poverty and famine; fighting for justice and peace".
