Lessons from Studying Abroad: “The biggest lesson I learned studying abroad was to step out of your comfort zone. This applies to everything, food, people, places, and adventures. Being in another country surrounded by new places and people and maybe even a language you don’t understand can be intimidating, but it also pushes you to grow in ways you never expected. Taking chances and immersing myself in the culture helped me gain confidence and make so many memories and stories to bring home with me.”

Memories from abroad: “Exploring outside of the U.S. has been a core part of who I am since I moved to Germany when I was 3. I knew as soon as I heard abroad I wanted to make it happen, so I jumped straight into seeing how I could make it happen. In the process of applying for study abroad, I found so many scholarships, resources, and was able to find other people who had done my program.”

Advice for Studying Abroad: “My best piece of advice is to just do it, even if it seems scary! Push yourself to experience new things and grow as a human being. You will learn so much about yourself and about other people. Be curious, ask questions, and stay flexible! It is an experience that is unforgettable and you will not regret it.”

Memories from abroad: “During one of our first weeks abroad Hanyang University held a weeklong school festival with cheerleading, school bands, game shows, and even K-pop groups performing! Some days we had to sit for hours to keep our seats but it was amazing to see all the ways Korean schools show spirit differently than we do in America! This was such a unique experience that helped us learn more about Korean culture, but especially helped us on the trip get to know each other better, and has become one of my favorite memories from studying abroad!”

Reasons for studying abroad: “I wanted to study abroad because I had never traveled outside the United States and I felt that State’s study abroad programs would give me the perfect opportunity to. Also, my marketing concentration made me want to study marketing methods in Argentina even more.”

Advice for students: “My advice would be to plan ahead for any possible thing. Going to a new country is overwhelming, especially if you never left the country before, and you’ll miss out on things if you plan last minute.”

Reasons for joining Global Corps: “I wanted to join global corps to encourage others to do something out of their comfort zone. I went on my trip not knowing a single person but I ended up leaving with new friends! When I was abroad, I also met up with my best friend since kindergarten in Lisbon, Portugal and rented a House boat for the weekend on the Doca de Belém.”
