1. STUDY ABROAD
An Introduction

2. Student Comment
“Living outside your
home country allows
you to see the world
from a whole new
perspective. It
changes the way you
think about everything:
the world, politics,
culture, yourself.”

3. Student Comment
“Studying abroad was one of the
greatest things I have ever done. I
went from being a sheltered ‘townie’
to an experienced world traveler. . . .
All that, AND I got a grade!”

Comment
“Budapest, Hungary
offered me the time of
my life. I met people from
around the world—China,
Germany, Amsterdam,
Nigeria, New Zealand,
Australia. . . . Study
abroad should not be
optional; it should be
mandatory for everyone!”

6. Student Comment
“The most interesting part of this whole study
abroad experience has been me coming to the
realization of just how little I actually know.”
