Testimonial from a past student
"Study Abroad allowed me take advantage of many opportunities I would never have had otherwise, like taking the Sound of Music Tour and seeing the beautiful city of Salzburg! I meet some life ong friends and was exposed to different ways of thinking and doing things. Studying abroad turned out to be an invaluable part of my university education!
I would encourage every student to take the leap and take advantage of this unique opportunity!
I went on the official Sound of Music tour and visiting Salzburg. It is the town of Mondsee and the Austrian Alps you see in the background. The town of Mondsee is well known for its monastery and of course the wedding scene that you see in the end of the Sound of Music. We also got to sample some amazing apple strudel!"
