Hallooo 😄😄 My name is Emalee, and I’m a senior Biomedical Engineering student at Clemson University. Recently, I had the opportunity to join Clemson’s Biomedicine and Global Professional Development Abroad Program, which took me to Heidelberg, Germany, as well as Strasbourg and Paris, France.
As my very first time traveling outside the US, I thoroughly enjoyed exploring surrounding cities across Germany and France, as well as taking a side trip to Switzerland. Throughout the journey, I gained valuable insights into healthcare biotechnology and biomedical engineering practices across Europe.
Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine, so standing in front of the Eiffel Tower was a truly overwhelming experience. I was filled with so much joy and gratitude that, yes, I was practically sobbing!
To whoever is reading this, if you ever get the chance to study abroad, I highly recommend taking it…you won’t regret it! 🌍✈️🇫🇷
