DEAR FUTURE STUDY
ABROAD KID

You’ll experience things you can’t even fathom–and it will all be worth it.

HOW MY STUDY ABROAD HELPED ME EMBRACE THE COMPLEXITIES OF ALL MY IDENTITIES

Study abroad helps you embrace your identity(ies) as a global citizen.
MY STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE AS A FIRST-GEN COLLEGE STUDENT
First-gen students experience eye-opening growth and cement their academic success.
I always heard people say study abroad changed their lives, but I didn't truly understand until I did it. There were moments I was confused, uncomfortable, and even frustrated and those didn't come close to the feelings of fulfillment, excitement, and pure happiness I felt throughout my time abroad!
