I chose to study abroad because I had never been outside of the east coast before, let alone the continental U.S., and wanted to learn about people and perspectives that I wouldn't have the chance to experience otherwise. I also love history and ancient cultures, so I really wanted to go to someplace with a really deep history. 

Studied in Osnabruck, Germany
University of Osnabruck (SUNY Oswego)

I wanted to study abroad not only for the adventure, but I was interested in how other cultures taught computer science and what they emphasized compared to the U.S. I was especially curious about this given Germany’s very formulaic approach to education.

Studied in Dubai, UAE

As a STEM major, I chose to study abroad because I wanted to experience a different culture. As an electrical engineering major, I could potentially work in a field where I'll be creating tech that may impact the world. Because of that, I think it's important to understand more about the world before figuring out how to help make it a better place.
