What Other Students Have Said About
Studying Abroad and the National Student
Exchange Program
"In my study abroad experience I learned about
other cultures, languages, and value systems. It was a perfect choice
for my degree in Political Science and provided me with a fountain of
knowledge about Central and Eastern Europe."
–Tara Zirker, Budapest, Hungary
"A study abroad program is the single most important
and rewarding university experience I've had the fortunate opportunity
to enjoy. I've studied on 3 different continents, visited 15 countries,
and gained an infinite wealth of personal satisfaction in friendships,
academics, and understanding the human condition worldwide. California
was were I was born, but the World is where I truly live."
–Steve Zabel (has studied in Denmark, Spain, and Australia)
“This kind of experience makes you better at everything
you do.
I would do it again 10 times.”
– Mindy Smith, studied abroad in Chengdu, China
“The investment you make will pay off for the
rest of your life.”
– Shelton Woods, Assistant Professor, History Department
“My experience was memorable, insightful; I met
so many wonderful people. It broadened my perspective on cultures and
the world. Every day I know more passionately what I want my career to
be.”
–Jamie Thompson, Studied in Turin, Italy
"Boise State initially appealed to me because of
the cost and location. When I contacted the school for more details, I
was informed about the program to become a Surgical Technician. At home,
there was a lengthy waiting list for a similar program; here at Boise
State I didn't have to be put on any type of waiting list and I am still
getting the same, if not better, training and education. I am receiving
a very specific, applied skill and meeting so many great people who I
otherwise may not have been able to meet, all for such a great deal."
-Laura Petritz, NSE student on exchange at Boise State from the
University of Montana
"I chose Boise State University because they have
an excellent International Business school and Japanese language/culture
class. I am currently in the International Business Organization, so I
am able to meet some influential people that are working in the field
of my major. I also like the campus life. I have met a lot of interesting
students including students from Japan, China, Spain, and various other
countries. I have really learned a lot about people; where they come from
and the subtle differences between me and them."
-Kyle Bridges, NSE student on exchange at Boise State from the
University of Nevada-Reno
"The National Student Exchange is giving me a wonderful
and exciting opportunity to expand my college career. If it was not for
the NSE opportunity I would have missed out on an extraordinary chance
to attend another school. Attending the University of Hawaii will give
me the opportunity to take a few classes that I would not be able to take
at BSU."
-Kendra Witt, Boise State student studyied at the University of Hawaii-Hilo
