Stories from Abroad
Hear what recent study abroad students are saying about their journeys overseas.
I was not only in awe of the Eiffel Tower, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much art and beauty there is throughout the city. There was never a dull moment. I really appreciated the on-site staff for helping me adjust to the Parisian lifestyle, and giving me the opportunity to see Paris through the eyes of locals.

Cultural immersion is an invaluable form of education that can’t quite be replicated in a classroom. I wish I could study abroad over and over again! The staff was so helpful whenever I needed answers to questions or simply just support in stressful times. I miss my program directors already!
