My Story from Global Study: Probably one of my proudest moments abroad was when I was making rounds of tea for the cast and crew of a play I was working on and the board operator told me that I make one of the best cups of tea she's ever had. That was the day that I knew that I was using my time abroad to really get to learn the world around me intimately and really fit in as a citizen of Bath.
My Advice for Future Students: If you want to study abroad, you can and you should. Think about what makes you excited to study abroad and then look for programs that have those things. No matter what, you will find a program that excites you about what you wanted and surprises you with adventures that you never even thought of.
