They say that society has gotten worse over the past few decades, well, for a few hours each week I get to see how society should really be. Experiencing this helps keep me centered in my life and keeps everything in perspective.

Who would have thought that the one thing I was required to do would be one of the most fulfilling experiences I get to take away from college. I’m thankful the university has this requirement, because all students should have the opportunity to experience what I’ve been lucky to experience this past summer volunteering.”

International Education contributes to our students’ personal growth in ways far

beyond what traditional classroom learning can help

them achieve.

"Studying abroad gave me a chance to gain an outside perspective on myself and my country. I began to question things about my life that I had never questioned before.... I learned to be open minded about different people and ideas."

"Studying abroad changed my life. It expanded my world, gave me insight into both different cultures and my own, and helped me to understand who I am as well. It was honestly the best 4 months of my entire life."

"Costa Rica was an experience of a lifetime. You will gain a deeper appreciation of culture and realize that differences make us unique and special. They bring us close to one another."

-Angela McAllister (Fall 1999) Australia

-Rebecca Platt (Spring 1999) England

-Kristin Paschke (Fall 1999) Costa Rica

"This past semester in Monterrey contributed greatly to my understanding of Mexican culture, history and politics. The interaction with both Mexican and other international students was entertaining and enriching. The sharing of our views of Mexico, the U.S. and the rest of the world widened my horizons and opened my eyes to other opinions. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that helped me look at where I want to go in life."

"Any study abroad program is a step toward independence and one step closer to understanding the world around you. I learned more about my feelings toward my own culture because I now have something to compare it to. It was invigorating, challenging (to the mind and heart), exciting, and it has made me realize how much life and earth have to offer me."
