Tell us more about your off-campus study experience! Studying off campus allowed me to go out of my comfort zone and learn to interact with people from all around the world. I got to learn how to live more independently and look after myself. For example, I learned to cook during my time abroad which I had never tried in SLU and now I am able to host dinners for my friends.
