Below are some testimonies from our study abroad options:
"The benefits of a political science major studying in Florence are huge. I was really interested in the student protests that were happening while I was there, and it was a great opportunity to research. Also, my classes were great!" - Grace Goodluck, Political Science Major, Florence Summer Institute
"Having already studied abroad before this trip, I knew the whole spiel about how 'it will change your life,' as travel always does. What I had not, in fact, intended was to find a passionate redirection to my career path as well. Going to Israel/Palestine changed my life in a lot of ways I never anticipated." -Megan Swoger, International Relations (Global Studies) Major, Israel/Palestine
鈥淚t was a wonderful experience and I can honestly say I鈥檇 do it 10 times over. I made 13 new friends and explored countless new things. . . It is really an experience I won鈥檛 forget鈥 - Dora Bichara, KSU student, Germany
"Nothing could prepare me for how much Geneva would come to change and mature me, both personally and professionally. Imagine waking up every single day with the biggest of smiles while interning for your dream organization on a daily basis. While there, my carry-on became an extension of my arm, and Switzerland became my second home. I tasted what my dream job with the UNHCR would look like, I met people who motivated me to aim high and never give up, and I made friendships that have lasted ever since." - Iris Margetis, Applied Mathematics & International Relations Major, Geneva Program
