Student Testimonials

Home University: J.F. Oberlin University
Study Abroad: Macquarie University - Semester 1,
2007
I studied abroad with the Study Abroad Foundation because my university chose
SAF to assist me with my study abroad program. I was particularly interested in
Australia, especially Sydney, so I chose Macquarie University as my host
university. After I went back to Japan, I decided to then come
back to Australia on a working holiday straight away. I would
say that my study abroad program made me motivated to come back to
Australia on a working holiday. I recommend SAF to other students
because my program coordinator was really kind and friendly and she always
listened to my stories and was always available via email and phone. It
was very good help for me to live and to study in a different country
with the help of SAF. To all future SAF students, do not be afraid and just do
it, after that you will find out what a great choice you made.

Study Abroad: University of Vermont - Academic Year
2007-2008
Going abroad through the Study Abroad Foundation gave me a lot of options which
is why I chose the program. I am majoring in Management Information Systems
(MIS) and English/Korean Interpretation and Translation so I was looking for a
host university which has both majors and thus chose the University of Vermont.
Every single class I took at UVM transferred to my home university and I could
get those credits applied to my university majors. I will always recommend SAF
because students get so many more choices than just doing an exchange through
their home university. In particular, I recommend the University of Vermont
because in this area of the U.S. there are very few Koreans so for learning the
English language it is one of the best places in U.S.
