Student Comment

“Living outside your home country allows you to see the world from a whole new perspective. It changes the way you think about everything: the world, politics, culture, yourself.”

Student Comment

“Studying abroad was one of the greatest things I have ever done. I went from being a sheltered ‘townie’ to an experienced world traveler. . . .

All that, AND I got a grade!”
