Jump in! That’s the advice MCOM major Sarah Even gives to students contemplating spending a semester abroad. She chose her last semester as an undergraduate to study at the American College in Thessaloniki, Greece. Several of her friends had studied in Greece a previous semester, but she went solo.
She says, "My biggest advice for students who are thinking about studying abroad is just jump in. At the time, being gone for four or five months sounds a little scary, but you will end up wishing that you had more time. Studying abroad is such an amazing opportunity to learn new things, meet new people and travel places where you might have never gone. Being a student is the perfect time to take advantage of opportunities like this. Don't let anything hold you back.”
