“Travel enhances confidence, independence, and freedom. It has shown me that I can navigate a foreign country, make new friends, and deal with challenging situations. I found out how much I know/don't know about the world. I was able to observe how I reacted in entirely new situations. When you realize how powerful you are, traveling becomes a transformative experience. ”

Ryan Noyes a Software Engineering/Japanese Language double major who studied abroad in Kyoto, Japan shares how sometimes getting lost can lead you to somewhere great in his recent study abroad blog post.

Rose Crisman, an Advertising and PR major who studied abroad in France in Summer 2023, shares her favorite places to eat and visit in France in her recent study abroad blog post.

“One of the highlights of my program was exploring the many different places to eat in France. I discovered some truly amazing restaurants that I will always remember.
