"There are so many programs out there, and there is at least one that will work for everyone! I was told it wouldn't be possible to study abroad because of my pre-med requirements and double major, but I talked to the EA office and we found a summer program that fit into my schedule perfectly. "

"I would tell anyone, regardless of your identity, that studying abroad is one of the most special opportunities you should have. Never let your identity deter you from going to another country because there is always a place for you where you want to go."

"As a public policy major, my advice is to take any and every opportunity you can get to learn about other cultures and perspectives... It was eye opening to see how people from different backgrounds responded to my questions and learn about how they thought their home country compared to the US. "

"Getting to know people with a completely different worldview is not only fascinating, but also curiosity inducing. I did a group project with students from Norway, Mexico, and Scotland, heard the Scottish perspective on Brexit, and debated politics with my French roommate."

"From our visits to four institutions in Ghana as well as working alongside our partners at the University of Cape Coast, I learned what it means to mold systems that are unique to any given cultural context. I learned that it is important to have multiple perspectives and be able to see through different lenses in order to truly be a global practitioner."

"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."
