I love traveling, and I knew in college I wanted to live somewhere else and be fully immersed in another culture. So when I got to Tech, I decided that an internship abroad was a good way to get work experience while being able to live in another country. So, I studied abroad with a GRIP international internship in Mexico City, Mexico. I used that time to eat as much food as possible and visit almost every museum in the city (I went to 62!).

I knew I wanted to study abroad long before coming to GT, but I could have never imagined all the things I'd experience, the wonderful people I'd meet, or the delicious food I'd taste while living in Barcelona, Spain. Study Abroad is truly such an amazing experience, and it is something that I recommend everyone to do once while studying at GT. I loved talking with the locals, commuting with the locals, adapting to the lifestyle of the locals, and truly feeling like a local towards the end of the summer. Reach out if you're interested in my summer in Barcelona or have any questions about the program!

I had a memorable summer studying abroad in South Korea as part of the Language, Business, and Technology: Korea program. It marked my first time venturing outside the United States, and it turned out to be an incredibly educational and enriching experience. While abroad, I not only had the chance to enhance my Korean-speaking skills but also embarked on exciting adventures with my friends. Exploring the culture and trying the delicious local cuisine made this summer truly unforgettable.

I studied in Berlin for a summer under the College of Computing. I had the opportunity to meet and interact with completely different kinds of people, as I immersed myself in Berlin life. I also had a great time traveling in and around Germany, to cities such as Munich, Prague, and Copenhagen. The study abroad experience has made me more open minded and independent.

Studying abroad at GTE gave me the opportunity to explore over a dozen new countries and over 20 new cities. I made so many new friends - fellow GTE students, locals, and other travelers from all over the world who I am still in contact with today! All of the adventures and experiences (good and bad) that I had have shaped me into the student and person I am today. I find that I'm more creative and more motivated to perform well in my classes, and I'm much more confident!

I've always loved to travel so I dove straight into study abroad when I got to Tech. I spent one semester at Georgia Tech Europe in France exploring places all around Europe. Then I did a summer internship with the GRIP Summer Internship Cohort program in Dublin, Ireland. Next semester I'll be heading to Taiwan. Studying abroad has been the highlight of my college experience, and I loved making new friends, learning new languages, exploring new cities, trying new foods, and becoming more confident. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions!
