USA Summer Camp Studying abroad has been a defining experience in my life. I've always been interested in traveling, but being able to completely dive into a new - and sometimes frightening - experience has challenged and enlightened me more than I could have ever hoped. Not only am I more culturally competent, but I also have the tools to do anything and go anywhere in my life. I can't imagine my college experience without my experience in Japan. $109!

Safe Travels! It has been a great 4 ½ years in college and as I am approaching graduation in a couple of weeks the only regret I have is not to have studied abroad more. I met the most amazing people while studying abroad, had the best experiences and am sad that I will never have such an amazing opportunity again. Lauren Lidbetter Communication
