Meet John Anthony Romero!

“Studying abroad was the catalyst to my growth academically, professionally and personally. Prior to going abroad, my goals in life were directionless, and I was timid. It wasn’t until I studied abroad that I came to realize who I was and who I wanted to be. This manifested in me doing things outside my comfort zone, and really trying things that were completely new. It was in this environment that I grew into my own, and realized that the innate passions I had in life were also things I wanted to pursue, like NGO work. I created the person I am today and these experiences continuously guide me to be better, to aim higher and to define what’s possible.”

 

 

Meet Anika Fung!

Studying abroad has been an experience I never stop thinking about. The people I met, and historical attractions I saw permanently changed my trajectory of the world and how everything always works out.

Meet Samantha Lopez!

Study abroad was such a valuable and impactful experience for me, especially being a first generation college student because I was able to immerse myself in a completely different culture and setting. This allowed me travel to different parts of the world and expose myself to such unique and amazing experiences that taught me about what the world has to offer. I was able to grow as a person and truly enjoy the company of myself. Not only did I leave with so many unforgettable memories but also met so many wonderful people throughout my time abroad.
