Anteaters, congratulations on concluding the acade

Anteaters, congratulations on concluding the academic school year! Let’s celebrate with another Feature Friday. Today we are highlighting alumna Kaylee Wells who was a Developmental and Cell Biology major 🧬

Kaylee studied abroad Fall 2014 at the University of Kent in Canterbury 🇬🇧

She says that she doesn’t have a single favorite memory while abroad, but the best part was “knowing that there were so many amazing places you could travel to close by. We took Wednesday and weekend trips to London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Prague, Bath, Paris.... When are you going to have an opportunity to travel like that again?” ✈️

Kaylee is about to defend her PhD in Biology from UMass Boston and start a post-doc position at Harvard

Her advice: “Studying abroad is what you make of it. Put yourself out there, experience the culture, and go on the trips you want to go on. It's temporary, so make use of every moment!” 💫

Congratulations on making it to the end of Week 10

Congratulations on making it to the end of Week 10, Anteaters! Today’s Feature Friday is Victoria Rocha (she/hers). She is pictured on the left with her twin sister, who was able to study abroad with her even though she attended a different UC campus! 💫

As a Double Major in Psychological Sciences and Education Sciences, Victoria studied abroad at the UC Center Rome 🇮🇹

Her favorite memory abroad was: “Going on a weekend trip by train to Venice with my twin sister and 3 other friends we made in the program! We arrived in Venice after midnight and had to walk about 45 minutes to find our hotel. The next day, we explored 2 nearby islands called Burano and Murano which were so beautiful!”

Since graduating last June, Victoria now works as the Program Coordinator for UCI Latinx Resource Center and volunteers as a research assistant with a lab in the School of Education! 💙💛🐜

Her words of advice: “If you have the opportunity to study abroad, visit a country that would be out of your comfort zone!! Go somewhere where you don’t know the language, aren’t familiar with the food or music…somewhere that will allow you to create unforgettable memories and stories to tell in the future!!!! Also, the Study abroad center on campus was a HUGE resource for me, and I recommend using their services while planning your trip!” 🌎

Happy Week 9! For today’s Anteater Story we are

Happy Week 9! For today’s Anteater Story we are featuring Jay who majored in Criminology, Law and Society 📖

He studied abroad at International Christian University in Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵

Jay’s shares that while abroad: “My favorite study abroad memory is traveling all across Japan and numerous countries in Asia with new international friends. If I had to boil it down to one specific trip, it would be the time I traveled to Hokkaido in Northern Japan and experienced snow for the first time.” ❄️

Currently, He is a federal court employee and full-time graduate student pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity. On his free time, he enjoys taking his dog to the park, listening to audiobooks while jogging, and playing basketball.

Jay’s word of advice: “My best advice is to properly prepare for your study abroad journey. Apply and take advantage of the abundant scholarship opportunities available for students to study abroad. They are honestly more attainable than you may think. Additionally, do research on your host country and solve logistical problems (banking, housing, transportation, etc.) before they arise. The fine Peer Advisors at the Study Abroad Center are more than happy to help.

Further, when abroad, make sure to ignore the little voice in your head that tells you not to try something new or do something uncomfortable. Embrace the discomfort and challenges. From these experiences, you will learn and grow the most. Lastly, if you can, try to learn a new language. It will definitely serve you in your career in the future.” 🌎

✨Happy week 9, Anteaters ✨

This week’s program feature: Thammasat University in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭

“On the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, examine Southeast Asia as never before. Whether you are in class, an internship, or a Buddhist temple, the location is the education. Field trips complement studies in public health, economics, development, and social justice. A study of Thai language, religion, and culture offers empowering context for each interaction you encounter. Local society is traditional, but the economy is progressive. Juxtaposed against ancient palaces are sparkling skyscrapers and neon-lit street signs. For a meal or moment of meditation, visit Sanam Luang, a public park surrounding the university.”

Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Audrey Lopez-

Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Audrey Lopez-Valdez who majored in Psychology and Social Behavior 🧠✨

She studied abroad at UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) in Mexico City 🇲🇽

Audrey’s shares that while abroad: “My favorite memory is taking classes in the architecture school, as a psychology student, these hands on classes were out of my comfort zone, but I loved being pushed to try new things and looking at all the fun art supplies they had on campus. It brought me to a new part of campus that I never would have gone to if I had just stayed in the psychology school.” 🏫

She now works full time as a Youth Career Advisor. However, she is thinking of applying to get her Master’s abroad, probably in Ireland since studying abroad definitely made her want to travel more! During Audrey’s free time, she loves to read and make earrings.

Audrey’s word of advice: “I was definitely homesick for the first few weeks of my program, but it’s important to push yourself to meet new people and go out and explore in order to feel more comfortable with all the change. Other than that I would say make the most of every moment! It’s over before you know it.” 🌎
