Stories from Abroad
Hear what recent study abroad students are saying about their journeys overseas.
I cannot recommend going abroad enough, especially in South America. Whether you are more interested in music, art, science, or history, Buenos Aires has options. Even after a month back in the U.S., I find myself missing my life there.
Edith B.

My experience in Argentina was something I will carry with me throughout the rest of my life. I learned an incredible amount, gained self-confidence and independece, and widened my perspective. I firmly believe that if everyone went abroad for an extended period, the world would be a better place.
