Study Abroad Insights

“I studied abroad at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. I got to take biology classes that were not widely offered (if at all) at Georgetown, such as marine bio with amazing field trips and classes on climate and energy that really challenged me to think from a new perspective. Without a doubt I can say that studying abroad in Australia was the greatest decision I have made thus far and am counting the days until I can return.”

Caitlin’s story

“I studied abroad with DIS (Danish Institute for Study Abroad) because I was able to take biology classes and get credits toward my major. DIS is a great program because it is so easy to get credit for classes back at Georgetown and because they provide a lot of support, such as housing, a food stipend, and some travel arrangements.”

Sarah’s Story

“I studied abroad through Georgetown’s McGhee Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies. Our program started in Istanbul with a two week orientation tour in which we travelled south to Bursa, Izmir, Iznik, and other notable cities. Studying abroad was the most important decision I made at Georgetown and undoubtedly the best semester of my life.”
