"WHY SHOULD I STUDY ABROAD?"


Language gains Career exploration Lifelong friendships Personal growth Fill
credits while abroad Cultural Exchange
"My language study is fantastic, and I have grown so much in learning
Portuguese. Coming to Brazil not knowing any Portuguese at all, to now where I
am semi-conversational. My professor is very patient with us and always makes
connections to our host languages for me to make Portuguese easier for us. She
is very interactive and does a lot to bring cultural elements into the
classroom."
— Julien Hector, American UniversityCET Brazil
"Language study at CET Colombia is so rewarding. I started with no Spanish, and
now I am at a level of practical intermediacy. Despite having never taken it
before this program, I have made friends, gone on dates, and met with professors
all in Spanish."
— Noah Rowan, Clark UniversityCET Colombia
"While it was challenging at times, by the end of the program, I found myself
speaking much more fluidly and quickly. At the beginning of the program, I had
to think out each sentence in my head first before saying it, but by the end of
the program, I was able to speak without thinking so hard about each individual
word."
— Sabine Gross, Oberlin CollegeCET Beijing

"My internship with Fulbright Taiwan was very meaningful, and I am super
appreciative of my supervisors and the rest of the CET interns that I worked
with during the summer. Due to my positive experience at my internship this
summer, I will be applying to be a Fulbright Fellow in the near future."
— Jewel Hardwick, Colby CollegeCET Taiwan
"My personal experience as an intern in the Czech Republic is more rewarding
than I could have expected. I was pushed to grow academically and in my career,
developing more confidence in my work. I especially like the CHC, where I could
learn about such an important watchdog organization and develop a new level of
literacy in international law."
— Johana White, University of Minnesota - Twin CitiesCET Prague
"My internship was a truly incredible experience and such a key element of my
time in Amman. My internship taught me important hard skills that I will apply
to future jobs. I focused on lesson planning, grant writing, building logic
models, and applying for startup funding [...] I also built meaningful
relationships with my boss and coworkers, and I plan to keep in touch with all
of them in the coming years."
— Alexandra McGuire, Yale UniversityCET Jordan

"My Brazilian roommate has become one of my best friends; we still talk every
week. I have heard of some students struggling to connect with people on their
abroad programs, but I don't think anyone in my program would say they
experienced that. We became a family; all the international students, the
Brazilian students, and even the faculty and staff. It quickly became a second
home."
— Amanda Ortiz, Macalester College CET Brazil
"The most important outcome of my term abroad was the people that I met here. I
hope that even after this program ends, I’ve made some great friends I can hold
onto even after we all go home to our respective states and countries. Not only
interacting with the Japanese people here, but interacting with Americans who
study a different major and live in widely different places than I do, has been
an incredibly fulfilling experience. "
— Katie Ishioka, ArtCenter College of DesignAICAD in Japan
"In the muggy dark that July night, my language partner had taken us to a
convenience store to buy breakfast for the train, exchanged emails with me, and
crowded us together for photos. I had done my best to express my gratitude for
her and our time together [...] CET had given us an impossible task—to say
goodbye to these experiences and friends—but it had also, in its programming,
given us this opportunity to learn how. "
— Laura Romig, Brown UniversityCET Beijing

"The most important outcome was advancing my social skills in both Japanese and
English. I struggled a lot with making friends and expressing myself properly
for a lot of my life, and CET helped me gain confidence in both languages.
Regardless of whether I continue Japanese (which I do plan on), the social
skills I have gained will help me for the rest of my life."
— Camden Scholl, Macalester CollegeCET Japan
"I think I am much more equipped to handle tough situations and have hard
conversations. I am more willing to question the people and the ideas around me
instead of accepting things as they are. I had to advocate for myself and figure
things out, oftentimes using a foreign language. This has made me a more
confident and capable person."
— Emily Kersten, University of MinnesotaCET Brazil
"I would say that CET in Siena has been an incredibly valuable semester for me.
Because Siena is so quiet and small, I've been able to work on myself, get in
shape, and fully immerse myself in learning Italian while exploring Siena. I've
been exposed to what feels like a considerable amount of Italian culture since
I've been here, between the various trips I've taken around Italy with CET and
without."
— Thomas Atkinson, University of VirginiaCET Siena

"The art was rich and beautiful, and as an art major, it is the most crucial
aspect that helped to better my experience in Italy. In addition, the art
history class I took while staying in Siena also enhanced my knowledge of Siena
and its past, as well as the region of Tuscany (Pienza, San Gimignano, and Monte
Oliveto Maggiore)."
— Diem Trinh, University of VirginiaCET Siena
"As an IR major, my elective has provided me with a great perspective on the
development of cities around the world. We focus primarily on major cities of
Brazil, but it is interesting to compare the complexities of their development
and how they strive to be like major cities in the U.S. I appreciate the
professor’s honesty in the complexities of the development of these cities
rather than praising oppressive global systems."
— Anonymous midterm evaluation, Fall 2023CET Brazil
"At Colby, I am a Biology major, so my course load is mostly biology, chemistry,
and math classes. Here, I am taking two art history classes, an Italian history
class, an Italian language class, and the history and culture of wine class that
I mentioned earlier. I am especially excited for my art history classes because
our curriculum consists of a lot of onsite classes—at some of the most
sought-after museums in the world."
— Presley Privitera, Colby CollegeCET Florence

"The location and focus of this program forced me to reconsider all the prior
biases and knowledge I had. There were a lot of materials that challenged all
the information being taught at my home university and the values I was raised
with. With these eye-opening experiences, I have been forced to have a broader
perspective. Ultimately, this has helped me appreciate the differences in people
and ideals moving forward."
— Anonymous midterm evaluation, Fall 2023CET Colombia
"I learned so much about how a set flows and functions when you are working with
analog film, and since our film was in Czech and had a lot of Czech influence. I
not only learned about the process of translation and subtitling, but I also
learned so much about the culture and history of the Czech Republic."
— Anonymous final evaluation, Fall 2023CET Film Production at FAMU

"In all I spent six hours chatting the whole time with her and her family in
Arabic. Four weeks ago I don’t think I would have been able to do that. Even
thinking back now, I’m not sure how I did it, I don’t think of myself as at that
level. But I’ve also progressed a long way, and it feels amazing to become more
comfortable and confident speaking and conversing in Arabic."
— Meg Buzbee, Yale UniversityCET Jordan
"This was my first time abroad and it really opened my eyes to the scale of the
world and the different cultures within it. It has also given me so many
experiences that I will cherish and remember for the rest of my life. I will
remember not only the wonderful and amazing students that I have been able to
meet, but also the amazing teachers and staff that have looked out for not only
me, but for the other students as well."
— Cody Simpson, University of KansasCET Japan
"As a Chinese adoptee (I was born in China and adopted as a baby, after which I
grew up in the U.S.), my Chinese appearance means that people I encounter
throughout my semester abroad naturally expect me to understand Chinese and be
versed in the language of daily life here in Beijing. Although my Chinese
heritage is something that I value as a part of my identity, so too is my New
England upbringing, which is usually unnoticed in China."
— Kira Porter, University of Massachusetts AmherstCET Beijing
"...I painted me and my housemate’s nails the same glittery iridescent as we
spoke about gender roles in America and Japan. I explained how I find gender to
be completely socially constructed and subsequently why I enjoy breaking down
the barriers between masculinity and femininity and she told me she didn’t know
anyone could be a feminist but that she’d quite like to be. My heart melted a
bit."
— Lowell Feldhahn, University of MinnesotaCET Japan
"While it is a terrifying thing to be completely stripped of the possibility of
communicating with other people in your native language, this sort of full-time
language immersion heavily contributes to improvement in another language and is
what makes the CET program so unique."
— Josh Gill, Rice UniversityCET Japan
"After he finished a winding discourse that touched on the former Iraqi
president, American foreign policy, and, much to Coleman and my confusion,
Muslim women, I purchased one of the Saddam trinkets he kept stockpiled in his
glovebox for my research, and he gifted one to Coleman for free."
— Rob Sanford, American UniversityCET Jordan
""My father used to tell me stories of sleeping on the roof of his house in
Baghdad and the last thing he saw before he closed his eyes were the stars above
him. Now I can say that I had done the same. [...] The olive trees, the high
tan-colored stone walls, and of course the blazing sun. I felt like I was living
in his days in Iraq."
— Grace Nuri, Georgetown UniversityGap at CET Jordan
