Program Reviews:
Spring 2020 Participant
I studied abroad when COVID-19 hit. While I hope no other student has to experience that on their study abroad adventure, it did teach me a lot about how to live in a new culture even in times of uncertainty. I would encourage students to spend time doing things they would never usually do back home while studying abroad. The little things, like waking up early to watch the sunrises, and trying new foods, really makes your experience extra special. Also, it is important to meet new friends from that culture so I would encourage students to challenge themselves to make connections in their new country because you can learn a lot from locals!

Rachel Elizabeth Beach, Spring 2017 Participant
I certainly wasn't prepared for 5 months in a new country, but I learned more, experienced more, and developed new passions and interests as I made new friends and explored a new place. It may take a lot of effort on your part to make your semester abroad possible, but it will be worth it.

Shealon E Calkins, Spring 2017 Participant
I found the relationships you establish while abroad to be the most rewarding aspect. I have formed relationships with people from all over the world, people I am determined to remain in contact with as they have impacted my life in ways that I could never explain. In addition, this network has allowed me to understand other cultures, furthering my cultural competence while also encouraging me to travel and explore in order to see them again.
