Jack Burke looks out at a pond

Jack Burke on UMD-Winter: Japan and South Korea

Elana Naide at the summit of a hike

Elana Naide's semester in South Africa with CIEE

"Throughout my semester, I built a support system for myself, with space to talk about experiences and to ask questions. I also watched and became a part of communities, and eventually the 8000 miles between me and my home felt like zero because my community in Cape Town felt just like one."

Sophia Wooden on Maryland-in-Barcelona

"I grew a lot in my cross cultural business skills and in my Spanish speaking skills while abroad. My network expanded when I embraced the community around me."

Alexys Lopez on UMD-Winter: Italy (CLAS/ARTH)

"I had a level of independence that allowed me to explore Italy at my own pace, but still, a community of my peers to socialize with. The perfect mix of support and freedom helped me get the most immersive experience while learning new course material."

Franz N. Stuppard on UMD-Winter: Nicaragua

"I was fortunate to serve in the military and be stationed overseas, particularly in Europe. Going to Nicaragua did not provide any unusual challenge; however, I was able to guide the new students with some cultural adjustments."
