Studying Abroad has been the best decision I have ever made! I am so happy to share this incredible experience with my amazing peers, learning about film, art history, photography & most importantly myself is so beautifully inspiring and liberating. I will take these experiences with me for the rest of my life! Thank you !!

I’m completely smitten with Rome — and with the people I’m sharing it with! 💛 From the minute we met in LAX to exploring Villa D’Este and the blue Mediterranean, every corner has felt like a new, beautiful surprise. Studying renaissance art while wandering cobblestone streets has been inspiring, emotional, and wildly fun.

If you’re thinking about studying abroad, this is my proof that it changes you: you make lifelong friends, push your creativity, and come home with stories you’ll tell forever.

Students should take the leap and study abroad! As a Kirkwood Community College Alumni, I am excited to share an article from a student who strongly believes in Study Abroad.
