Hello from Nagasaki, Japan! 🇯🇵 My name is Bridget and I’m sharing some pictures from my fall semester at Nagasaki G*idai 長崎外大/ Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies.

Shimabara Castle, we visit on a school trip during orientation. Great views from the top.

We got to see dolphins up close on a dolphins boat also during this trip,apparently not every year they come close so we got lucky!

Mt. Unzen, also a stop on our trip to Unzen which is around 2 hours, a little less, away from Nagasaki G*i Dai.

One example of dorm food, the dorm provides breakfast and dinner. They have a set menu which you can view in the cafeteria, you can also opt out of the dorm food and make your own food in your dorm. (Though you will need to buy/bring your own cooking equipment)

View from the campus, it’s on top of a hill and had very amazing views of the harbor.

A view of the dormitory from a far, it’s just down the hill and houses a lot of students in its 8 floors. There are doubles and single rooms available, but single rooms are slightly more expensive.

A photo of one of the dorm cats that likes to hang around. This cat can often be found in the lower car park area, so cute.

A photo from the Tekengi festival, where they climb a bamboo poll and when they reach the top they through things down - one being a live chicken!

It was very cool to watch, and was about 50ish minutes away from the dorm, there is a lot of fun stuff near the dorm much of it requires a bit of public transportation and a bit of waking to reach. Have good sneakers!

A photo from Nagasaki’s Okunchi festival, we had off from school for the first day of the festival and went into town. The festivities do start early, but it was great to watch. After we headed closer to the water for a giant street parade with amazing food.

Photo from our other school trip to Huis Ten Bosch Dutch theme park, about and hour plus from Nagasaki G*i Dai. It was huge and looked straight out of Europe!

A photo from the observation deck over looking the park! The park is popular for its Evangelical ride and themed activities.

I also recommend checking out the ferries around Nagasaki, because we are so close to the water i

Hi, my name is Kelsey. A senior studying International Business and a minor in Asian Studies.
📍South Korea
I’m currently studying abroad at Dankook University in South Korea. So far it’s been a great experience learning a brand new language, trying new foods, making new friends, and making memories that last a lifetime! My favorite thing to do is visit many beautiful cafes and the hiking trails (I highly recommend hiking here). Lastly, a big thank you to Dankook International Affairs and SUNY New Paltz Study Abroad for this opportunity to study and live here in South Korea.

G’day from Australia! Im Ricky and I’m a third year psychology student currently studying at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia!

📍South Beach
Australian beaches are the best I’ve ever seen, I’ve never even seen water this color before! There were some 🦀 hiding out which I found really cool!

📍Elizabeth Quay
This is the city of Perth! Taken from Elizabeth Quay which is this fun harbor with restaurants and shops and even a carousel. All of Perth feels so modern to me!

📍Perth Zoo
Koala!!!! I have more pictures I can post of koalas on the story upon request! They are even cuter than I’d imagined, like seriously look at him. 2 of my friends made this picture their lockscreen.

📍Transperth bus!
Making friends is probably the aspect I was the most scared of before getting here, but if you put yourself out there and are kind to others, people will just gravitate to you! I found it really easy to connect with other study abroad kids, so the everyone pictured is either English, Scottish, German, or Belgian! Don’t worry guys I am making a good impression on behalf of America! They actually said I’ve changed their negative impressions of Americans!

📍Lancelin Sand Dunes
I tried and failed to sandboard! Despite the fall it was still super fun and would recommend!!!

📍King’s Park
This is my favorite place in all of Perth!!! It’s super cool and larger than Central Park!

📍Scarborough Beach
This is my favorite beach!!!
More pictures if you swipe a little

📍The Bell Tower
Perth’s bell tower is one of the largest musical instruments in the world! It reminds a lot me of the atrium at new paltz.

📍Docklands, Melbourne
I got to see Melbourne for a couple hours during my layover!

📍King’s Park
me aura farming at kings park

📍Scarborough Beach
Because Perth is on the western side of the continent, the sunsets are unmatched! Swimming in the Indian Ocean is super fun too.

📍The Pinnacles
The pinnacles are land formations created thousands of years ago from receding seashells. Curtin’s abroad program organizes cool trips for us exchange kids to see things further outside of Perth that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to see! This was a super fun day w

Hello from Milan!
My name is Violet and I’m an incoming senior at New Paltz, studying digital media production! I’m studying at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore; I’m taking three cultural studies courses while here, ranging from Italian w**e culture to mafia representation in media.
I’m so excited to have the opportunity to be here for six weeks and it feels crazy that four have already passed. I’ve been lucky enough to do some traveling while here; I’ve already been to Pavia, Turin, and Bologna and am going to Florence my final weekend.
As an art history lover, getting to go to so many museums across cities has been a highlight of my time here.

This experience has been a once in a lifetime opportunity that wouldn't be possible without the Global Learning for All scholarship. This scholarship helps significantly to lift the financial burdens that always accompany studying abroad; it makes this experience possible, and I couldn't be more grateful!!

Enjoy some photos from my time here!
