Lindsey Noel Roesti, Spring 2013 Participant
I learned not to take my hometown, home state, and home country for granted. When traveling to foreign countries you will encounter things you may have never seen before. You will be uncomfortable sometimes. Not everything is always going to go smoothly. However, those are the things that make traveling worthwhile. Encountering something different or difficult and overcoming those challenges is extremely rewarding, especially when in a foreign country.

My favorite part of my learning abroad program was making friends at my school abroad, learning about their culture and lifestyle, and traveling with them.

Katrina Joanne Kaus, Spring 2013 Participant
It seems crazy, but in just 4 and a half months I made life-long friends that I will eventually see again. My travel experiences were beyond wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better study abroad experience.
