    Margaret Crosson on Exchange in Australia

    "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. This is a myth-- studying abroad can be just as expensive as tuition, and even less! With a multitude of programs and countries, this experience is accessible to all."

    "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."

    "University of Maryland offers so many scholarship opportunities for study abroad students to help cover some of the tuition costs. Also as an out-of-state student at Maryland, my tuition at my London university is cheaper than my UMD tuition."

  • Tia petting a brown bull with horns

    Tia Murphy's Summerterm Abroad in Italy

    "There are so many programs out there, and there is at least one that will work for everyone! I was told it wouldn't be possible to study abroad because of my pre-med requirements and double major, but I talked to the EA office and we found a summer program that fit into my schedule perfectly. "

    "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."
