"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. But it鈥檚 still not quite the same as the one you鈥檒l have from the front of the classroom 鈥� it definitely won鈥檛 wake you up like the synchronized 鈥済ood morning鈥� you鈥檒l get from your students."

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 ...

"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."

"I studied abroad at Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka, Japan where I took courses in International Marketing & Intercultural Communication. It was a life-changing experience for me taking me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to take risks. Now all I want to do is travel!"

Management Concentration Major Ashley Brake studied abroad in Perugia, Italy. She took general education requirements and was there for 6 weeks.
"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."
