Global Student Experiences
“Studying abroad was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to step outside my comfort
zone. I loved my experience in Switzerland – the program is robust and definitely
helped me to become more well-rounded. I highly recommend and encourage studying abroad
to everyone."
Breanna Kilgore, Switzerland
“If you are thinking about studying abroad and are on the fence, I absolutely recommend
it. There is something so fulfilling about trying something new or traveling somewhere
new. You have so many opportunities to learn about yourself as well. I wouldn't trade
the memories, knowledge and lifelong friends I gained for anything."
Eddie Chambers, Rome
"Getting to go abroad allows you to question and learn about yourself in ways that
you may have at home. I fully believe this experience has not only renewed my excitement
to finish my degree but also further ignited my wonder for what the future will bring."
Kaylea Henretty, Japan
