DESCRIPTION

Rutgers study abroad programs will take you to less-traveled destinations, or give you a fresh look at well-known ones. Programs are of varying length and credit, so you’re sure to find a program to fit your schedule and budget. Study eight different primate species in Kenya, the health of coral reefs in the Cayman Islands, or experience the white nights while learning Russian in St. Petersburg. There are a range of Service Learning opportunities: intern with a women’s group in Ghana, help train women farmers in a rural village along Turkey’s magnificent Mediterranean coast, or work in community-run health clinics in Mexico. Decide where your next classroom will be!

My most memorable experience was giving a presentation on preventing HIV/AIDS to a class of fourteen and fifteen-year-old students. During the presentation, it was clear that the students were engaged and listening to the issues. Afterwards, every single one wanted pictures and to exchange e-mail addresses with my partner and me. It was an amazing feeling to know that our visit had an impact on students and will hopefully help them engage in safe behaviors.

Study Abroad has encouraged me to have an open mind and to realize that I have the power to change and positively influence others no matter how small it may seem. I also strive to expand my social work career internationally and if not at least help out internationally.

one of the largest impressions this trip has had on my consciousness is related to the notion of global citizenship. I Feel like part of something larger than myself. this trip illustrated a connection to a grand constellation of folks who (in some superficial ways) are different from me. Yet, the similarities that bond our experiences are very real.

In the beginning of the trip, my Chinese language skills were weak, I had little knowledge of the culture, and I was excited but nervous about living in such a foreign country. However, by the end of my trip, all of this had changed. My language skills improved greatly; Chinese people would ask me how long I’d been in China, and my “only six weeks” response would always shock them. I became comfortable with navigating the town I was staying in, and got to know the local vendors. And my nervousness was shed for an extreme sense of belonging. I didn’t want to leave!
