What Current Students are Saying
- “As a first-generation college student who had never previously been out of the country, I could not have asked for a better study abroad experience… For anyone who is on the edge of whether to study abroad, I would say that it is 100 percent worth it.”
- “Studying abroad is one of my best decisions and moving to a foreign country gave me a whole set of skills that I would never have if I had stayed home.”
- “Studying abroad is something that I never saw myself doing because of the high costs and social barriers preventing me from doing so. This was until I started looking and found a program that really interested me. I decided to dive into the idea of studying abroad and found that there were many scholarships and options to help with funding and support throughout the experience.”
- “My best piece of advice is to stay in contact with your study abroad advisor and your academic advisor to make sure the program you are pursuing works for your educational goals. Be open to different programs, too, and be open to the things your advisor tells you because they have a lot of great advice for you.”
