USA Summer Camp $109! Studying abroad has been a defining
experience in my life. I've always been interested in traveling,
but being able to completely dive into a new - and sometimes
frightening - experience has challenged and enlightened me more
than I could have ever hoped. Not only am I more culturally
competent, but I also have the tools to do anything and go anywhere
in my life. I can't imagine my college experience without my
experience in Japan. Erin Rammer Human Services Senior
