My study abroad experience can only be described as positive. It was my first time traveling by myself and exploring a new country, so I grew more independent and confident in my navigating abilities.

While studying abroad in Sorrento, Italy, I met some of the most incredible people. A group of eight of us girls lived as neighbors, and we truly spent every day together.

The trip to Sydney Australia impacted my journey to become the best conservationist there'll ever be in a multitude of ways.

There are so many ups and downs that come with living in a new culture. I saw so many new exciting places around the North of Spain and even into new countries. Some of my favorite places I visited include San Sebastian, Spain and Bordeaux, France.
Isabel Dillon, Australia
During my first week of classes, I quickly realized that the expectations and assignments were vastly different from what I was used to. There were only three major assignments that counted towards my entire grade.

Studying abroad was one of the best decisions Iýve ever made for myself. The experience gave me incredible opportunities for personal growth and unforgettable memories.

Studying in Spain for a semester was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I had the opportunity to meet new people, see new places, and experience different cultures first-hand.

I had the summer of a lifetime studying abroad in Costa Rica. I was fully immersed in the Costa Rican culture by living with the sweetest host family, and I became fluent in Spanish during my time in the country.

Studying abroad in Costa Rica was fantastic, I tried a lot of new food like Costa Rican arroz con pollo, granizado, and gallo pinto! The friends I made in my program are my friends for life.

Overall, my experience in London was truly a transformative one. I had the opportunity to write a blog for GVPRSSA about my time abroad. I wrote, "I found a love for London when I left home."
