Maria Symons Photo"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.

Irene Presper Photo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 ...

Study Abroad Photo"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."

"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."
