Hello! ,My name is Nat and I studied abroad in Belfast, N. Ireland in the spring of 2024. As someone who had ever flown, let alone left the country before, I was terrified, but it was one of the best decisions of my life. The places I got to see and the people I had the privilege of meeting will stay with me forever, and I definitely plan on going back someday! If you have any interest in exploring the Emerald Isles, I would love to buy you coffee and chat!!

Hi!! My name is Sophie Hare, and I studied abroad in Inzai, Japan! I explored so many people's beautiful places, ate amazing food, met equally amazing people, and learned so much about not just Japan but myself and my faith. Study abroad is a great opportunity to experience a culture more deeply and thoughtfully than just a week’s vacation. The friends and memories you make will last you a lifetime!

I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad twice, first in Lithuania, and later through a Juniors Abroad trip to Thailand and Cambodia. Each experience opened my eyes in ways I never expected: walking the streets of small-town Klaipeda, learning local traditions, and connecting with students from all over the world made me see my own culture differently. Traveling through Southeast Asia, I gained a deeper appreciation for resilience, history, and community. Both journeys pushed me outside my comfort zone, challenged how I see the world, and ultimately helped me grow into a more confident, curious, and compassionate person. If you’ve ever thought about studying abroad (even just a little), I can’t encourage you enough to take the leap. Don't miss this opportunity of assistance to see the world. It’s not just about travel, it’s about transformation.
