"Being abroad in Florence, Italy has changed my life! I loved having the opportunity to see new countries and cities nearly every weekend. I found a new appreciation for new cultures, languages, and cuisines. The world became my classroom during this semester."

"I went abroad to South Korea. It was a great experience and I recommend it to anyone, whether you have an interest in studying abroad or just want to see what other countries outside of the U.S. are like. What I loved about studying abroad in South Korea was the food, the people that I met, the friends that I made, and the adventures I went on."

"I went abroad to Sevilla, Spain. About one month in, this has already been the most life changing experience of my life. I have met so many life minded people and traveling Europe (and northern Africa) is very easy to do! You spend a lot of time traveling, becoming emerged in new cultures, bettering yourself in more ways than I can describe. My most recent trip was Morocco, which was a life changing experience for me. I spent a day exploring Marrakesh and 2 days in the desert, watching the sun while riding camels."
