“Studying in Tunisia allowed me to experience a part of the world that many people never see, and it also let me learn about contemporary political issues. It was an invaluable addition to my education.”— Andy Timmons, a political science/English double-major who studied abroad in 2014

“It helped me grow as a person. I’m more confident now because I did it by myself.”— Tahera Rahman, who chose to study abroad in Spain because of its rich religious history.
“Everyone needs to experience this. Everyone needs to know where we came from.”— Nia Lewis, who studied abroad in Ghana, where she visited slave castles and explored her heritage.
