Shane Stricker, Semester in Hungary, offered a recent testimonial about the benifits of a study abroad experience; to read it, click  here.   To see how other alumni testify to the long-term advantages of international study, and check out our study abroad frequently asked questions. If you are an alumni of our study abroad trips, we congratulate you--and ask you to please send us your own testimonials; how has your study abroad program changed your life?

If you would like to talk to a student who has recently participated in a program in which you are interested, we can get you in touch. Please drop a mail to Carol Grasamkee in this office and she will facilitate this for you.
