"I was independent before studying abroad, but I gained a larger sense of it during my semester in Italy. Life is about seizing opportunities and making the most of them, and I feel like I certainly did while in Milan. I would encourage everyone to study abroad. "

"I feel like a much more well-rounded and worldly person. It has made me want to pursue a TESOL certification so I can teach English to people overseas and I'd love to go back to Berlin and work and live."
Emily T Eastern Kentucky University
"I learned about myself and about the world outside of the US. It was an amazing experience and I am interested in returning to study or teach. I've been able to incorporate my time there into real world connections in Middle School Social Studies' lesson plans."
