The college encourages students to study abroad for several reasons. Travel broadens your horizons. The experiences you gain through travel cannot be learned in other educational settings. In addition, travel prepares you for taking part in our global economy. Such assignments can be exciting, but they also can be intimidating or even unattractive to those with no travel experience.
Travel builds a special bond among students, their professors, and the college.
Memories of traveling together are often the fondest of a student's college career. It's fun to meet new people in distant lands, observe and take part in their customs, and visit their historic sites and natural wonders. Travel recharges your spiritual battery and gives you something positive to look forward to. Yet travel courses do test your mettle. The fronts come down and the real you emerges.
