WorldStrides Reviews

My study abroad experience in Paris was truly unforgettable. I had the opportunity to learn more about business from an international perspective while also experiencing a new culture and seeing so much of the world. The program allowed me to grow both academically and personally, step outside of my comfort zone, and make memories and friendships that I’ll carry with me for years to come. I’m so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to combine education, travel, and personal growth.

I was initially super worried about how I would manage my program, but working with WorldStrides, I was able to have all of my questions answered, and my needs met. The WorldStrides team in London is very engaged, and accommodating. I had a wonderful experience, and am so grateful that I chose to study abroad through WorldStrides. I would definitely choose to use WorldStrides again, and I would love to visit London again, too! I think I learned a lot from this experience, and I hope to travel abroad (if not study) again soon.

My abroad program in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was truly so magical thanks to WorldStrides. The excursions they added to my program helped me get the most out of my trip. I especially enjoyed the trip to Iguazu Falls. During this time, we stayed in a lovely bungalow-style living space for 3 days and had the chance to hike Iguazu National Park for a whole day. I also enjoyed how the program allowed us a lot of free time to explore the area and see more of Buenos Aires that was not already on the itinerary. Everyone needs to go abroad at least once, and WorldStrides made my first study abroad truly one of a kind.

Studying abroad in Barcelona was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! I absolutely loved all of my roommates, and having them there made the experience even more fun and memorable. I also got to travel to over 10 different countries while I was abroad, which was such an amazing opportunity. The classes were super fun and informative, and I actually looked forward to going because I was learning so much while still having a great time. Between exploring new places, meeting amazing people, and making unforgettable memories, I couldn’t have asked for a better study abroad experience!

World Strides provided me with all the resources I needed, had activities such as soccer or dance classes for people to join, and provided trips to various museums and other cities such as Valencia. I personally stayed in a host family and joined a soccer league, not only did my spanish and (some) of my Catalan improved, but I was able to get a great immersive experience and felt supported. I met some of my friends from the soccer league and my classes. I recommend taking some art classes as they often include additional field trips to museums.

Studying abroad with WorldStrides in Paris was an adventure smoother and greater than I imagined! The on site support that WS gave was amazing, the homestay was great with great communication, and they gave all the students an adequate amount of cultural information which helped in getting settled into Paris life. Another bonus with this program is that the university I attended was well known in Paris with quality academics. Because every class I had was in French I gained a lot of confidence when speaking.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time studying abroad with WorldStrides. They have a very well put together program. Safety and housing was a concern for me going to a foreign country, but WorldStrides makes all of their students safe by giving us all of the information we need, and they even take you to your housing and help you get settled in. WorldStrides also offers free day trips for students that i recommend taking advantage of. They have an amazing program overall and I highly recommend WorldStrides for anyone thinking about studying abroad. I can assure you that you won't regret it!

My time studying abroad through WorldStrides gave me the opportunity to fully immerse myself in a new environment while still having a strong support system around me. I was able to explore Rome, experience Italian culture, build relationships with other students, and learn things that I never could have learned from a textbook. Some of my favorite memories came from the unexpected moments—figuring things out in a new country, exploring the city with friends, trying new foods, and simply experiencing everyday life in a different culture.
Studying abroad also helped me become more independent and confident. Being in an unfamiliar place challenged me to adapt, communicate, and solve problems on my own. Those experiences taught me skills that I know I will continue to use in college, my future career, and everyday life. I came home with a greater appreciation for other cultures and a broader understanding of the world.
If you are considering studying abroad, I would encourage you to take the opportunity. Even if you are nervous or unsure about leaving home, those feelings can be part of what makes the experience so meaningful. WorldStrides provides the support and opportunities to help you make the most of your time abroad and truly experience another culture. It is an experience that pushes you to grow, gives you memories you will never forget, and can change the way you see both the world and yourself.

I went abroad to Korea with Worldstrides at first not knowing anyone, but because of how involved Worldstrides was with my experience, especially the first month of being in Korea, I was able to meet other people in my program and make friends fast. Also, all the people in our program got to live in on-campus housing, which was super convenient and another great way to meet people. While some of my friends had to directly apply for dorm housing through Korea University, Worldstrides did all of that for us which was very hassle-free too! While in Korea, there was so much to do and explore, including a guided Busan trip hosted by Worldstrides which was free (price was included with overall cost) and it was such a fun and unforgettable experience!! Overall, I loved being abroad with this program, and we got to do so many fun activities. In general, I loved living in Korea for 5 months and will definitely be back soon!

Studying abroad in Seville Spain was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The location was beautiful with so much to see and explore, in 4 months I got to see so much and at the same time only scratched the surface. Both locals and people from my program were so welcoming and kind, it made the experience of being so far from home easier. Being in a forge in country taught me to be independent and how to navigate the world myself, while also meeting some of the best people from all over the world.
