I studied abroad at Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador...

NUS in Singapore... 

CALS school fellow here in Sydney, Australia. 

I love studying in Ecuador because our classes involved a lot of field work directly in the ocean. I was able to practice a foreign language and eat a lot of really delicious foods. 

We got to go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, go look at all the waterfalls and rainforests, and even go sandboarding in Mission Beach. 

I chose Singapore because of its competitive biology program, immersed myself in diverse new cultures... 

And it has solidified my interest in marine biology while giving me hands-on experience in the field.  

If you're thinking about studying abroad, definitely do it.
