I do not know if there will ever be enough words to describe how grateful and appreciative for my time spent living and exploring different places in the world and having part of the experience shared with my family.
Megan Heller
Through Camas Path Higher Education and the University Studies Abroad Consortium, Megan was able to study abroad at the University of Brighton in England.
While at the University of Brighton, Megan gained a new global perspective. She took classes in British culture (studying various factors of the United Kingdom’s, such as sports and monarchy), photography, and political movements where she studied the indigenous Bolivians, Romans, and modern Egyptians.
Below are a few things she had to say about her study abroad experience.
“While at the University of Brighton I resided in the on-campus housing where I lived with individuals from all around the United States and Europe. I enjoyed meeting and making friends with people who come from a variety of different backgrounds and places, different from my own.”
“I do not know if there will ever be enough words to describe how grateful and appreciative for my time spent living and exploring different places in the world and having part of the experience shared with my family.”
“This semester I spent abroad is an experience I will forever hold in my heart and never forget.”
