Leah C University of Maryland - College Park
"I wouldn't want to change anything about my semester in Sydney. I loved the experience of living a different lifestyle in a new culture, traveling more in the five months I was there than I have in my whole life, and making so many new friends that I can't wait to see back in the States. It's an opportunity you can't turn down!"
Alex S University of Maryland - College Park
"It was more than worthwhile. I would go back to any single day in those six months in a heartbeat. Every day was an adventure just waiting to happen.

"Being in Italy was excellent, but this was not my ideal program. My home university and host university both put me through a lot of nonsense.

"Studying Abroad definitely opens your eyes to the world around you. Little problems don't seem as important anymore, and the world definitely begins to feel a lot smaller.
