Office of Study Abroad - A Year In Review (2023)

Welcome back to our Fall 2023 Exchange Students!

The conclusion of the Fall 2023 semester will see our Global Gators wish their exchange campus a farewell as they travel back to UHD. We have 3 Fall 2023 Study Abroad participants that are making their way home from Spain, Finland and Japan.

These students had the opportunity to participate in an immersive experience abroad that they will never forget. In addition to learning about the academic culture abroad, they learned the values of international education and made lifelong memories!

Bon Voyage to our Fall 2023

Graduates and Spring 2024 Exchange Students!

More students have or will be departing for winter and spring terms! This includes faculty-led programs going to India and Australia. We also will be sending exchange students to the Czech Republic, France, Finland, and Spain. We wish them a safe journey and look forward to hearing about their experiences out in the world. We hope they are able to embrace new opportunities and grow into global citizens.

We wish our graduating Gators all the best in wherever your future endeavors may take you!

A tip from Khamilla

“Put yourself out there and have an open mind to the new place and culture you will experience. You can't have expectations when studying abroad.”

“My favorite aspect of studying abroad has been probably meeting so many new people from all around the world. And getting to know their cultures and the way they live their lives, I think it's really cool to see how different some of us live”

“The most captivating aspect of studying abroad lies in the firsthand engagement with local communities, exploring diverse learning environments, and, notably, gaining profound insights into the historical experiences of slaves a depth of understanding unattainable through mere reading”

A tip from Herby “One tip that I would give is keep an open mind because you are not in your home country, be respectful to the local nationals, get out of your comfort zone to really enjoy the experience”
