I am so happy I decided to do this study abroad. I think it was great that each day was so different from the others and that really kept students engaged. I tell someone about this trip everyday now and I will highly recommend it to other students in the future. It was suiting that…

I’ll start with how absolutely beautiful Scotland is.…

Last semester in one of my classes, someone from the CAES Study Abroad office came to speak. As she was talking about the different trips that were offered, I began thinking that it would be so much fun to go on one of the trips. I started to ask around about which trip would be…

A day out from leaving for the Uruguay study abroad trip and I can’t sleep a wink. Thousands of questions are running through my head… “Will I get lost in the airport? Should I have stayed home for spring break? What if I have problems with my passport? Did I pack enough of the right…
