International Studies is located on the 2nd floor of the Teaching Lab building. There’s a small sitting area for you to relax in - add a dot on our “upside down world map” to show where you have traveled, rest between classes, have a hot cocoa or a coffee. Take a look at photos from some of our events and travels! 🌎🗺️☕️
