“My study abroad experience wasindescribable. I met new people, ate delicious food, experienced things I never imagined, participated in cultural activities, learned a lot about myself, and more. I highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.”

“Studying abroad and choosing Croatia as my destination was one of the best decisions I ever made. It was such a beautiful contrast to Rochester. Everyone I met was very welcoming and kind and I was practically adopted by the family of one of my Croatian friends and we still keep in touch today!”
