    Gessica Fleurival on Exchange in the United Kingdom

    "I became more independent and self reliant and learned how to adapt to different cultures and different people. It gave me a different perspective on how others may view my own culture as well."

    Kerri Simmons on UMD-Winter: Australia and New Zealand​ (CPSP/HONR)

    "My best advice is that if you are given the opportunity to study abroad, take it!! I was very hesitant at first about going abroad, but it ended up being an invaluable experience I will never forget. I loved everything about my experience- from learning about the culture to getting to know the other students in my program."
