Antoinette Uzamere semester with Maryland-in-Florence (ARCH)
"The ease of access to countries with different cultures allowed me to grow my respect for people who are different than me and also see how it compares to other cultures by experiencing it.

Alyssa Taylor's year on exchange in South Korea

Katherine Badia's semester with Maryland-in-Barcelona

Logan Glauser's semester on exchange in Denmark

Gabrielle Jacques's semester with Arts & Humanities-in-London
