"The experience showed me that I can do more than I thought possible and gave me confidence and experience that I will carry with me to future endeavors."

"My study abroad experience was extrememly beneficial in exposing me to a culture that I wasn't too familiar with. It allowed me to assimilate into an entirely different way of life."

"In addition to practicing and improving my Spanish, I participated in a homestay and was fortunate enough to befriend many Bolivians during my short time there."
"My name is Julie Bland and I am an Intervention Services (Moderate-Intensive) Major. I am currently in my Junior year and studying abroad at Keele University in Strattfordshire, England."
"Hi! My name is Angie Burdge and I'm a sophomore at BGSU. I'm a journalism/public relations major with a minor in international studies. This spring semester I am studying abroad in Florence, Italy in a Kent State University program through the Ohio Consortium. It has always been my dream to live in Italy and travel throughout Europe and I am so excited to finally be doing both!! So now I'll be updating everyone back home on all my experiences living in Firenze and traveling to as many countries as possible. Ciao!"
"My name is Adam Dunn; I am a senior here at BGSU and have been accepted to finish out my undergraduate career about 5,000 miles south of the main campus! I will teach for three months, as well as do my best to travel should enough time be allotted. Come view my blog to gain insight into what it is like living and teaching in Rio de Janeiro. I hope that you join me as much as possible, as I discover all I can about myself and my world on this odyssey. Thank for taking notice and leave a comment when you do!"
"This will be my blog as I study in Spain. I'm basically going to write about everything: interesting things that happen, how I feel about everything, and how I am doing. My experience may be different than most because I have taken very little Spanish and I'm not a Spanish major or minor. Spain was really a whim... I have the time and could get the money, so why not? For me, this is really an opportunity to grow rather than a necessity."
"Hello, my name is Katy Gehred, I'm a Junior, and I'm going to be in England for Spring semester! I'm studying history at Keele University. Mostly I'll be based in Stoke on Trent, but I plan on travelling around Europe for a bit (hey, why not?) so I'll write updates on those trips too. I'm super excited, and I plan on documenting my crazy adventures here for posterity."
