“This trip was life-changing. I was fortunate enough to join the College of Liberal and Fine Arts on a trip overseas to Scotland, Ireland, and the UK. I got to meet so many amazing people on this trip and learn more about the travel and tourism industry. These are memories I will cherish forever and 10 out of 10 recommend them to anyone considering studying abroad.”
