"My students have chosen to take their studies to a new place at a challenging time, and to make their learning not something contained to the classroom, but something that happens 24/7. Walking to class, ordering lunch, booking a train to a hiking trail in Saxony, Switzerland, scheduling a flight to Budapest, biking through town... all of this (and more!) is a learning experience."

Now, I know a lot more about the German government system." Read More ...

"You鈥檙e carpooling with your housemate to work in the early morning. You look to your left to watch the sun rising lazily over the South China Sea; the light is just peeking over the top of Kapas Island, a little off shore. It鈥檚 a nice view, you couldn鈥檛 argue that. But it鈥檚 still not quite the same as the one you鈥檒l have from the front of the classroom 鈥� it definitely won鈥檛 wake you up like the synchronized 鈥済ood morning鈥� you鈥檒l get from your students."

鈥淎provecha." This is a word that I heard almost constantly when I studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain, this past semester. It translates directly as 鈥渢ake advantage,鈥� but really is a command to 鈥渟eize the day.鈥� The Sevillanos use it in almost every context; you buy a coffee and the waitress says 鈥渁provecha鈥� instead of the typical 鈥渁dios.鈥� Read More ...

"Take every opportunity that is present to you even though you are in a small school and a small town! There鈥檚 so much opportunity both inside and outside campus that you can use to help your experience or to follow an interest that you want to learn more about. There鈥檚 so many opportunities around you, but if there aren鈥檛, just make it! It鈥檚 really not that difficult." Read More ...

"It doesn't matter what your goal in life is, studying in a completely unfamiliar environment will challenge you in so many ways. One caution though: your worldview will probably change and become much more all-encompassing. You might even start caring about international politics and global warming, if you didn't before. But you'll be all the better for it."
Heidi Rotroff '16
"I studied abroad at Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka, Japan where I took courses in International Marketing & Intercultural Communication. It was a life-changing experience for me taking me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to take risks. Now all I want to do is travel!"

"The Bond experience was unforgettable. I enjoyed traveling, the beautiful scenery and the challenges that my courses brought me everyday. During the fall semester of 2015 I studied Business Management at Bond University in the Gold Coast, Australia. The classes that I partook in were Concepts of Strategy, Human Resource Management, Entrepreneurial Growth, and Business Statistics. The Bond experience has helped me to narrow my studies to International Business and Human Resources."
