    "Studying abroad, I've learned how important it is to stay flexible. Sometimes that simply means being willing to go on spontaneous hikes with your newfound friends. In more dire situations, it means rolling with the punches when your trains are late and you've missed your flight."

  • Lauren Roche on BMGT Exchange in Spain

    Radhika Gholap on Winter Term in Spain

    "As a Physiology and Neurobiology major with a double minor in Spanish and Statistics, this winter study abroad was an amazing fit into my pre-med course load while enriching my language skills."

  • Margaret with her head close to a Quokka

    "Studying abroad sounds daunting in many ways, but it does not have to be. Many people are deterred by the myth that studying and living abroad is expensive.

    "I think [studying] abroad gives you the opportunity to experience your own identities in different ways, which can be both a good thing and also very challenging. You take your identities with you, but now the cultural context is different."
