In my study abroad trip, I went with ACU’s College of Business to China to study about global entrepreneurship and business law. It was a really awesome, eye opening experience and I don’t think there is a study abroad experience that could have benefited me more than China did in terms of...

Final Thoughts of an American Abroad Rachel Jones I’m trying to think of what I would be doing if I didn’t go to Study Abroad. What would I be doing right now? Probably working, at home, or spending time with friends- nothing close to seeing parts of the world I have never laid eyes on...

    This summer I was blessed with the opportunity to study abroad in the lovely town of Leipzig, Germany. I did not know very much about Germany, but I chose the trip over other locations because of the ease of travel across Europe from the centralized location of this country....

When people ask me to describe my month in Europe, I am consistently left at a loss for words. How do I succinctly describe a month in which I was challenged with new experiences, faced with big decisions, and out of my comfort zone every single day? It’s extremely difficult to summarize. In...

  Beautiful Buchenwald One of my favorite places that I had the opportunity of visiting in Germany was the Buchenwald campsite, which I thought was an interesting and conflicting place. Unlike most other concentration camps used by the Germans for their prisoners, who were imprisoned in...

Cultures. How do we differentiate one from another? The most common answers are the music and dancing, the food, and the religions and celebrations observed. Before I came to Uruguay, I would have said the same thing. However, as I traveled around in South America, I began to form a different...

Study Abroad changed my life. Cliché, I know, but it’s nigh impossible to come up with any other way to put it. This semester has been a strenuous, wonderful, exhausting, and exhilarating experience. I have been constantly challenged, and had to adapt and grow in ways I didn’t feel possible...

Fifteen hundred euros to escape from the only life you’ve ever known, but even that life is mostly gone now, a blurry outline of a memory that is quickly fading, just as you have now mysteriously vanished from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan to set foot on the “stone of light,” Hellas, Greece....

Study Abroad is an experience like no else. I have grown and learned in so many new ways over this semester. I have learned what communal living is all about and how to love people in such close quarters. I have learned although you may not know the language of the country you are in,...

This semester in Oxford has been absolutely amazing! I don’t even know where to begin. I have loved every minute of living in Oxford, from visiting the weekly markets to walking around the parks. I have been blessed with amazing travel opportunities, and during my time here I have gone to...

My experience abroad was a truly unforgettable experience. I had the enriching opportunity to venture to Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy, and England all in one amazing 7 week experience. While I was in England, I even had the awesome chance to spend a couple days with one of my best...

This past summer I studied abroad in Leipzig, Germany and traveled to other nearby countries over a period of two months. During this time I experienced a culture that was much different from my own. Besides the obvious language barriers that I encountered, I immersed myself in a culture that...
