About Me
Hi, my name is Dan Passov!
I am a Junior Commonwealth Honors Student majoring in Political Science. I have studied abroad in London, UK (Fall 2022), Oxford, UK (Summer 2023), Cyprus (Winter 2024), and Salamanca, Spain (Summer 2024).
My favorite memories abroad have been with all the different friends I made in the process—especially immersing ourselves into the local cultures while learning all about foreign lives. If I have to pick a specific memory, it would be going to the pubs in the UK with friends and chatting with all the locals about all the similarities and differences in our lives.
I highly encourage studying abroad if you’re looking for fun/new experiences, opportunities to grow as a person, and everything in between! The fondest memories I have all come from my experiences abroad. No matter what kind of interests you have, there is always something for everyone while abroad! If there are any concerns about going abroad, please do not hesitate to contact me!
