Students who wish to study abroad in their sophomore, junior, or senior year should get started as early as the freshman year with planning a semester, year, or summer abroad.

"By studying abroad you take a risk that not many people have the courage to take. You step outside of your comfort zone and find that it's one of the most beneficial things you'll ever do."
