  • Michael stands on a bridge in Spain

    Michael Hildreth's semester with Clark-in-Madrid

    "Everywhere I went, either to a new country or to a discoteca, I made friends with new people. It was a wonderful feeling to learn that I could interact with so many people from various areas and backgrounds with ease."

  • Sarah Pimentel stands in by a water fall in Iceland

    Sarah Pimentel on UMD-Summer: Iceland (ENME)

    "I used to think that studying abroad was so out of reach for me. It was never even a possibility in my mind until I saw a poster for this trip and read more about it. It was perfect as it was a short term summer course, meaning it wasn't a commitment of a whole fall or spring semester, which I really liked."

    Dan Moscatiello semester on Maryland-in-Rome

    "The sheer number of options available to students makes it so easy to find the best fit for you, whether it be a semester term or even a shorter trip in the winter or summer; there literally is something for everyone!"

  • Jack standing in front of a canal and historic buildings

    Jack Hamrock on Clark-in-Madrid

    "It was my first time abroad. I was able to go abroad because the program fit my studies, did not delay graduation, and was cheaper than U.S. tuition."

  • Ben standing in front of a canal in Copenhagen

    Ben Geertsema on Engineering Abroad in Denmark

    "The world may be becoming more interconnected, but it is still a very big place. I met all kinds of people from all walks of life all over the world and now I can say that I have close friends in five continents, including other civil engineers."

  • 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."
