“Don’t be afraid of studying abroad…. Studying abroad is an experience that changes your perspective on the world while helping you ground yourself further [in terms of] who you are. Even if you’ve never been out of the country before, it’s worth every second and every penny…. Understand that the Asian Studies program is here to help you accomplish your goals and will support you the entire way.” – Jennifer Adams ’16
