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!"
Rose Raufman's semester on Maryland-in-Nice
"I learned how to communicate with people when words failed me, and I learned a great deal about patience with myself and with others."
Mollie Blum's summerterm with USAC: France
"With all the programs that exist today, you are bound to find something that suits your needs. All majors cross borders and I know for a fact that your educational experience will be so much better when you study abroad."
Nile Fossett on UMD-Winter: Morocco (ARHU/ENGL)
"My host family was amazing and showed me that complete strangers can become family."
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 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."
