  • Serena standing and smiling with the Tower Bridge in the distance.

    Serena Saunders on United Kingdom Spring Break Program

    "As a Public Policy major, I would say that thinking about the history, culture, etc. of your study abroad location in real-time gives you much more perspective on the policies of today. Being able to interact with locals and gather their opinions on policies that might be unrecognizable or complicated to us as foreigners was really enlightening for me."

  • Gessica Fleurival outstretches her arms in front of the Manchester United Stadium in the United Kingdom

    Gessica Fleurival on Exchange in the United Kingdom

    "I became more independent and self reliant and learned how to adapt to different cultures and different people. It gave me a different perspective on how others may view my own culture as well."

  • Eliana standing next to a wall of ivy

    Eliana Neuwirth on Terrapin Takeoff: London

    "As a public policy major, my advice is to take any and every opportunity you can get to learn about other cultures and perspectives... It was eye opening to see how people from different backgrounds responded to my questions and learn about how they thought their home country compared to the US. "

  • Danielle smiling in front of a town skyline

    Danielle Stein on Maryland-in-Barcelona

    "I would tell anyone, regardless of your identity, that studying abroad is one of the most special opportunities you should have. Never let your identity deter you from going to another country because there is always a place for you where you want to go."

  • Barret holding up a package of alpine cheese

    Barret Rus on Business Exchange in Austria

    "Everyone has a different story, a different path, and a different reason for their travels, but for one semester or one week or even one night, those paths cross and you get to learn from others experiences and knowledge and share your own experiences and knowledge."

  • Shiri standing with her arms raised at Arthur’s Seat (near Holyrood Park), Edinburgh, Scotland

    Shiri Huber's Spring Term at University of Edinburgh

    "Getting to know people with a completely different worldview is not only fascinating, but also curiosity inducing. I did a group project with students from Norway, Mexico, and Scotland, heard the Scottish perspective on Brexit, and debated politics with my French roommate."
