    "Journalism majors can study abroad!!! It's advised by the college to not study abroad because there are very limited programs that have any sort of media or journalism classes, but if you plan ahead of time, you can still study abroad."

  • Samantha Fielder wears a mustard yellow sweater on a beach at sunset

    Samantha Fielder's exchange with SKEMA Business School

    "Studying abroad is not easy or cheap and that's the truth, but it is not impossible."

    Nick Perkins's exchange at University New South Wales

    "I thought it was so interesting to see all of the cultural differences that everyone had. However, the most fascinating part was how similar we all were."

  • Meredith McVadon wears a blue feathered hat in a crowd during an outdoor event

    Meredith McVadon's semester with Maryland-in-Buenos Aires

    "Study abroad allows you to grow, learn, and understand others in a unique way that your home university can't offer. It can be intimidating, expensive, and seen as "unnecessary," but it is possible and within your reach if you are committed to making it happen."

  • Nikita Mutter poses in a patterned dress on a colorful street in Cuba

    Nikita Mutter on UMD-Winter: Cuba (GVPT)

    "This study abroad trip to Cuba changed my life. I have traveled to Europe before, but never to a communist country. It was incredible meeting people who have lived through very turbulent times and have continued to prosper. This trip allowed me to really appreciate the small things that I take for granted in the USA, like using a debit card, having access to the internet, and the freedom of speech."

  • Faith Ensor smiles in front of an old wire fence with forest and mountains in the distance

    Faith Ensor on UMD-Winter: India (HLTH)

    "I think the biggest takeaway that I gained from this experience was being able to make such meaningful connections with Dr. Howard, the other students on the trip and the professors at Manipal Edu. Their friendship and genuine interest for exploring Indian culture made the trip worthwhile, and the educators in India were so passionate about their fields of study."
