Students of all majors, level of study and financial backgrounds are able to study abroad. By studying in another culture, you can gain a new perspective, improve your professional potential and enhance your overall college experience. The OSU Study Abroad and National Student Exchange office coordinates a variety of academic programs, both international and domestic, that help OSU students connect with the world. In addition to the shortterm, faculty-led programs offered through each academic college, OSU students may also study abroad for a summer, semester or full academic year. Students can even apply to live in the Global Scholars House Living Learning Program (LLP) located in the recently renovated Iba Hall. The LLP fosters intercultural communication through floor activities and events throughout the year.

Not only did I get to experience the culture and discover the rich history of France, I was also able to learn about the problems engineers face in different parts of the world and how they apply technology to come up with solutions.
