| “We were able to learn from the community. We were led by the community. We were able to visit the community cultural center and engage with some of their practices. I think this very immersive trip alongside South Africans has changed my life forever.”
Cheyenne, “Educational and Social Reform” in South Africa |
“It was wonderful to get to talk to Brazilian students close to my age. I really was impacted by that because I was able to get an even deeper sense of how Brazilians might think about race, how their experiences of racism might have impacted them. It made me think about, what are the ways we can connect? How might our experiences be different? Those opportunities for more casual, less structured educational moments are where I learned the things that I’m going to take home with me.”
Rachel, “Race, Class, and Equity in Higher Education” in Brazil
“I would 100% recommend other students to participate in a Steinhardt study abroad program, specifically the Sweden abroad program in Lund. It was an amazing experience that allows you to get closer to your peers, those of other cultures, and more involved in the Voice Disorders area of our field.”
Sutanya, “Therapeutic Approaches in Speech Pathology: Voice” in Sweden
I feel more motivated to continue in this profession. I am more mindful of where my food is coming from for financial, global, sustainable, and health reasons. I also felt like I was more social than I normally am and connected with people I don’t think I would have tried to connect with here.”
Kelsey, “Italian Cuisine and the Mediterranean Diet” in Italy
“The vibrancy of Ghana took my breath away. The experience with my class made it that much more special, and with these great memories with each other, all I can say is, when can we go back?”
Owen, Dean’s Global Honors Seminar in Accra
“I went in terrified that I had no friends coming to Madrid: they were all at other locations. I was so lucky in the end, because I met an amazing group and we got to travel through Europe together. It was an insanely amazing, once in a lifetime experience!”
Emma, semester away at NYU Madrid
“[Sweden is] renowned for having excellent speech therapy techniques. Being able to see all these really cool science labs, seeing techniques to measure what the brain is doing or how your tongue pronounces vowels, and meeting people that I don’t think I would have access to here in the US was wonderful.”
Sofia, “Therapeutic Approaches in Speech Pathology” in Sweden
“I had been to Paris before, but Professor Berg’s course took me off the well-beaten tourist trails and showed me a different side of Paris that I had never seen. Of course, we had the opportunity to do touristy things–visit the Eiffel Tower, boat down the Seine, tour famous museums–but what I really appreciated was straying from those well-trodden paths and visiting other venues, which helped me better understand how food and other political/cultural factors like race, gender, and ethnicity intersect with Parisian identity. I made connections with fellow students that I will cherish forever.”
Dave, “Global Food Cultures” in Paris
