About

Studied in: China

Most memorable part was: spontaneously renting bikes with friends late at night in order to get back to my dorm. You never know when you might get the chance to bike on empty roads in the streets of Beijing! (which keep in mind, are usually quite busy)

I wish I knew beforehand that… the Education Abroad office offers so many amazing yet affordable options! Seriously, I tell this to everyone I meet.

I’ve also been to: Canada, England, France, Switzerland, and Italy

I’d love to travel to: New Zealand and Vietnam

Anything else: When in doubt, apply! I thought, “why not?” and applied to the Freeman Asia Scholarship, which opened the door for me to study abroad. Next time you think a scholarship or a program is out of reach, apply anyway!
