Madeline Case's semester on Destination Rome
"Be respectful of the culture, yet also very cautious and responsible. It’s easy to get caught up in all the fun, but remember why you went there and the image you’re representing."
Toluwanimi (Tolu) Obalade on UMD-Summer: Nicaragua
"To adjust to the challenge I just embraced Nicaraguan culture while making a conscious effort to not compare it to American culture."
Nadia Malik on UMD-Summer: Bolivia (EPIB/MIEH)
"We experienced living in a village (San Jose de Uchupiamonas), which was the most heartwarming experience of the trip. The locals made us feel very welcomed and reminded us that we could call this place our home. I feel that we have left this trip with new mentors that we can call family."
Charlotte Li on exchange at University of Auckland
"I think the best thing to do is to be resilient in your beliefs and engage in constructive discussions with people from other countries with different viewpoints; we're abroad to learn more, after all."
Kaitlyn Lee on UMD-Summer: Bolivia (EPIB/MIEH)
"I learned a lot about myself, too. I now understand resilience. I have a better understanding of how vast and complex the world is. I’ve learned that curiosity will always lead me to a fulfilling adventure."
Carli Fine on Maryland-in-Copenhagen
"Of course, Danish culture itself has also affected my outlook on the world, and I am now more interested in cooking from scratch, using public transportation, and infusing "hygge" into my home and lifestyle!"
