Tell us more about your off-campus study experience! The biggest aspect of off-campus study that I enjoyed was the opportunity to take more niche classes than are offered on campus. Some of the many skills that I gained during my off-campus experience are problem solving, communication past spoken language, and independence in planning and executing trips and adventures. My time of campus has impacted by SLU experience by teaching me to live in the moment and not to forget to plan in time for fun activities and adventuring.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone studying off-campus or thinking about studying off-campus? Take any and all opportunities that are presented to you while you are abroad, that could look like a random day trip, a cooking class, or visiting a new restaurant.
