Tell us more about your off-campus study experience! Studying Off-Campus has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. The independence I felt was something that was new for me. I was discovering a new culture for the first time and that was very exciting. I also loved my time doing the work-study. I grew a lot over the course of the four months and my experience encouraged me to pursue a career in international education.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone studying off-campus or thinking about studying off-campus? Bring a camera and takes a lot of pictures. Everyone should be acting like everyone else's photographer.
