Study Abroad

Studying abroad at Oxford was an incredible experience. I got lost my fair share of times, but exploring one of the oldest college campuses in the English-speaking world was half the fun. In class, I loved diving into what inspired Shakespeare and other writers, especially as our professor often assigned literature that took place in Oxford and London. I recommend applying if you're looking for an opportunity to learn more and absorb the English culture or if you're looking for a bit of adventure. If I could do it all over again, I would!

To students considering the Costa Rica program, I would highly recommend it. It was well balanced between activity and education. Going abroad really does open a person’s perspective about the world around them. There were a lot of firsts for me on the trip, like ziplining and visiting a volcano. Overall, my experience on the field studies trip was excellent.

My experience studying abroad was life changing. Personally, Spanish never clicked for me in the classroom. Then, abroad, I was immersed and picked up Spanish quickly. I went from admiring those who could learn Spanish with ease to becoming that person. I learned a lot about myself as a student in Santander. Which was not the goal of my trip but was the cherry on top to a fun, educational and cultural experience in Santander.
