"By studying abroad in Honduras, I gained a bunch of new friends that I still consistently talk to and interact with. Without the study abroad program, I certainly would have never met any of them. I also got to log near 30 dives and was able to see cool animals up close and personal!"

"Studying abroad opens the world to cultural exchange. When students study abroad, they become completely immersed in other cultures and learn about an entirely new way of living. At the same time, they are sharing their own culture with people in the country they are studying abroad in. It creates a worldwide classroom that offers learning experiences like nowhere else, and gives students lifelong friends."

-Wendy Bauman, University Study in Norway: University of Bergen, Spring 2019

We travel initially to lose ourselves; and we travel next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe where riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again – to slow time down and get taken in, and to fall in love once more. – Pico Iyer

"Don't be afraid to try new things and explore! You don't want to look back on your time abroad and have regrets. I connected with the local community by visiting the weekly farmers market and exploring the city of Limerick. In my free time, I traveled and got involved with the societies on campus. It made my experience exhilarating, educational, and rewarding."

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted. – Bill Bryson
