Information Sessions:
- Watch a recording of the information session to learn more about the program!
Going abroad was intimidating as someone who has never traveled internationally, but if you are even the slightest bit curious I would encourage you to attend information sessions and apply. To me, this is the best time and opportunity to go abroad because you get to be with people your age, get to know a professor, explore London with a tour guide, and meet business professionals by visiting their companies. I learned so much about myself, marketing, and traveling from this trip, and I would recommend it to anyone!
