Aaron Holly, Philosophy/Religious Studies, Minor in German If anyone is sitting on the fence about studying abroad, I would tell them to take advantage of it while they can because there will be few other opportunities in life where you can live abroad for an extended period of time. It was also a lot of fun and a great way to get to know many different people.
