Study Abroad Returnees | Stories From Abroad • • • • • “My trip to Argentina was incredible and allowed me to experience a very diverse culture alongside 7 great friends. The immersion into a fully Spanish speaking environment tested our abilities to adapt to menus and directions, but added to the fun. Individuals we met in Argentina will be lifetime friends. My favorite afternoon of the trip, we played soccer with 6 local Argentinians that were employees at the hotel we stayed in. Two of the local neighborhoods we explored were  La Boca and Palermo. The city itself was huge, but we explored a considerably huge amount of it. The diversity of each neighborhood we explored was interesting and allowed us to learn about the city from different perspectives and angles. I am super thankful for my opportunity to live and experience another culture, while all at the same time learning more about myself. It was an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything!" • • • • • 🌟 Abigail Dykas 📚 Major in Industrial and Systems Engineering 🇦🇷 Intersession- Buenos Aires, Argentina
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories From Abroad • • • • • • "Exploring and studying in Sydney will probably be one if my most memorable moments at USD! The combination of such a beautiful city accompanied by such a great group of peers made this experience definitely worthwhile.” • • • • • • 🌟 Mark Bautista 📚 Major in Behavioral Neuroscience, Minor in Biomedical Ethics 🌍 Intersession - Sydney, Australia
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories from Abroad •••••• “SYE in Florence was the perfect way to start the year. It was such an eye opening experience and I would definitely do it all over again. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. I hope to find myself back in Italy soon.” •••••• 🌟 Sam Anciano 📚 Marketing Major and Psychology Minor 🇮🇹 Intersession - SYE Florence
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories from Abroad •••••• “My favorite part about studying abroad in Costa Rica with the School for Field Studies was visiting sustainable farms throughout the country where I learned the importance of being connected with our food systems and where our food comes from. I also snuck in some cuddles with some friendly farm animals :-)” •••••• 🌟 Gianna Petersen 📚 Environmental Studies 🌎 School for Field Studies, Sustainable Development Studies in Costa Rica
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories from Abroad •••••• “My favorite memories from abroad all encompass around the people I met! Some of my current best friends are other students (from various universities across the country) who were on SAS with me. I also met a ton of amazing, inspiring locals in every country I went to- some who I am still in touch with today! My greatest advice for anyone studying abroad is to branch out, go out of your comfort zone, and meet and converse with as many people as you can. We can learn so much from listening to others.”•••••• 🌟 Melissa Vetti 📚 Psychology and Communication Studies double major 🌎 Semester at Sea
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories from Abroad •••••• “My advice for studying abroad would be to be flexible and open to new experiences. It allowed me to make new friends and learn a lot about Italian culture!”•••••• 🌟 Alexia Vance 📚 Political Science Major 🇮🇹 Intersession - SYE Florence
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories From Abroad • • • “My best advice that I can give is no matter where you are studying abroad, take the time to learn the language. Assume that no one speaks English. Make friends with local university students. It’s easy to get caught up with other students that speak English. If you really want to be immersed into a new culture, learn the language. You never know what opportunities learning a new language will bring. For me it led to graduate school abroad!” • • • • • • • 🌟Morgan McLaughlin 📚French and Behavioral Neuroscience 🇫🇷 Semester - Aix-en-Provence, France
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories from Abroad • • • • • • “The best advice I could give someone before studying abroad, is don’t take a single moment for granted. You’ll have moments where you’ll miss certain things about the US. You don’t know if you are ever guaranteed to go out of the country again. I’m thankful I was able to study Faith and Politics in Florence and use my days off to visit Cinque Terre & Pisa. So enjoy it, be present, have fun, and cherish the memories. 💗” • • • • • • 🌟Mary-Logan Miske 📚Political Science and Communications Major 🇮🇹Intersession - SYE Florence
Study Abroad Returnees | Stories from Abroad • • • “My favorite memory from studying abroad was visiting friends that were studying abroad in different places in Europe and having them show me around their new city. And a piece of advice I would give is to choose somewhere to go abroad where you really want to go to, not just because your friends are going there. :)” • • • 🌟Meg MacGregor 📚Spanish and International Relations Major 🇪🇸Semester - USD Madrid Center
