STUDENT Experience
“Studying in South Korea first allowed me to flex the language learning skills I acquired as part of my Korean minor at Notre Dame. However, it also provided me with an intensely rich experience of intercultural exchange, immersing myself in the diversity that Korea has to offer. Notre Dame’s support allowed me to immerse myself fully in the culture and create a lifetime of unforgettable memories.”
Jessica Williams Seoul, South Korea

“Exploring Singapore fully has given me a perspective into a part of the world so different and so far from my own, one which I hope will inform a lifetime of travel and service beyond university.”

Student Experience
“Before coming to university, I had never left the United States, and I never imagined that I would have this chance to step so far outside of my comfort zone. I have grown so much as a person through studying abroad, so I will say again, thank you so much!”
Rachel Hennessy Hong Kong, China

“I was able to travel to different towns in Normandy while studying abroad at Sciences Po in Paris. This opportunity had a deep impact on my experience in France. Visiting the beaches of Normandy allowed me to engage directly with French and global history in a powerful way.”

Student Experience
“My semester abroad was in Santiago, Chile, where I was able to travel south to Patagonia. I went with a few friends and we were able to spot King penguins as well as complete the base trek to see the famous Patagonia towers. I was not only able to see incredible works of nature, and learn more about Chilean culture, but also reflect on the goodness of this world in which we live.”
