What Parents Say

Dear Office of Global Studies,

I just wanted to share with you my feelings about the study abroad programs at St. John's. First of all, as a former student, I wish they had these programs when I attended St. John's in the 70s and 80s.  Secondly, my son just returned from the Study Aboard program in Italy during the Fall Semester and I just wanted to tell you that this was a great experience for my son. 

Although, he currently doesn't live at home but dorms at the Queens campus, his travels have increased his independence and he has grown as an individual.  The experience of traveling to many countries, some where he might never return to in his lifetime, was priceless. He made many friends, learned a lot about Italian culture and his Italian heritage. Overall, he had an incredible experience.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Let’s Go Red Storm!
