## Testimonials
">
> " What made my experience in Korea most meaningful was the diverse group of friends I made along the way. Through this study abroad program, we lived in the same dorm, practiced our Korean as we studied the language, and all stepped out of our comfort zone. I miss Korea with all my heart.
> "
> Lilliana Rivera, Class of '25, Asian Studies and Asian Cultures and Languages Major, Exchange Student at Seoul National University, Korea
">

">
> " The most exciting part for me is watching how students translate what they learned abroad and
> letting it guide their next steps — not just from the perspective of what they study or which jobs
> they pursue, but also in everyday critical thinking, comparing why things are done in one
> international context versus another and how that affects everyone in their world.
> "
> Thomas Ward, Education Abroad Director, Texas Global
">
> " Explore a country and its culture while you are studying abroad. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t impose limitations on yourself or on what the experience abroad can be and stay open to what a program and country have to offer.
