Student Experiences

Want to know what it is like to live and study in another country?  Read the experiences of current and former Howard students to get a sense of what it is like to be immersed in another culture and language.

“Brazilians are amazing.  It’s really important to immerse yourself as much as possible in the culture.  I learned more in my daily interactions at the feira, the beach and at parties than I ever did in the classroom.”

“Visiting Tanzania was an amazing experience. Not only was it a pleasure to learn Swahili in Africa but living five weeks with the natives speaking their language, eating their food, and learning their culture was a life changing experience. While there, I noticed many parallels with the US South culture.”

“Studying abroad definitely made me feel like a citizen of the world.  In the end, we’re all connected and what we do affects others across the globe.”
