Study abroad
“My study abroad experience has helped me become more diverse, more independent. I studied mafia in Italy. It was really insightful for me because my professor was once a lawyer for the Italian government. I also took an intro to mindfulness class and my professor there works for the Dalai Lama. For students who don’t think they can do this because of financial reasons, because it doesn’t fit into your schedule—you can do anything you want to do. There are so many resources available.”
