Study abroad prepares students for college

Study abroad programs like those offered by Abbey Road prepare students for college in a number of ways.

Academically, cultural immersion provides students with top-notch language skills and the confidence to use them in a variety of settings.

“I would have never had the confidence to just start speaking to people before Saint-Laurent-du-Var,” said Hadley Green, a 2009 alumnus. “I am overjoyed that I can now go up to people and just start talking to them! I made friends from all over the world that will last a lifetime and got to experience the French culture first-hand, living in a warm and open family.”

From a personal perspective, students who can live comfortably with new people, make friends easily, and even cook tend to do the best in college.

Abbey Road students say that their experiences living with host families or on their own with Abbey Road staff helps build maturity and confidence.

“I was able to speak Spanish more frequently and thus was able to become quite fluent,” said Smita Garg of her experience living with a host family in Cádiz in 2009. “The family setting helped me understand the culture and ways of doing things in Spain. It helped me become a more independent and confident person.”

Another 2009 Cádiz student, Anna Kushner, said, “I feel as though Cádiz allowed me to mature and gave me the ability to be able to stand on my own two feet.”

Students who live on their own, rather than in homestays, cook for themselves with Abbey Road staff and learn to work together.

“The trip left a huge impact on her maturity and cooking skills,” said Melinda Sanders, whose daughter Sarah went on Abbey Road’s program in Saint-Laurent-du-Var in 2009.

“We stayed up late and played cards, learned to cook authentic Italian meals and made messes with our bubbly cooking instructor, William, laughed and talked about our time at home, hosted residence night at least weekly by inviting everyone to come hang out with us, but most importantly, we helped each other with our work and sat down and made art together,” said Emily Kissenberth of her 2009 Abbey Road program in Florence. “For me, being surrounded by centuries of fine art and living with five other artists was the most inspiring thing about being in Italy.”

Abbey Road students often put together a summer cookbook.

My mom and I are actually making one of the recipes for dinner tonight from the Florence cookbook—the chicken stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto,” said Cathy Glasgow, who went to Florence in 2005. “I hope it turns out like it did in Florence!”

The Abbey Road experience often influences students’ choices of majors and career paths.

“Many of our students have been so inspired by studying abroad that they went back to their host countries, studied there, and made career choices based on their love of that country,” said Abbey Road managing director Dr. Arthur Kian.

Jenny Hirsch, who went to Florence in 2006, said, “I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my time in Florence, and it inspired me to go on to pursue a minor in Italian Studies in college, as well as to study abroad in Italy during college.” Now, Hirsch is applying to be a staff member with Abbey Road. “I chose to apply for a staff position with Abbey Road because I believe that it is a truly unique and incredibly special program,” she said.
