Berkeley Study Abroad

"The best part of studying abroad was without a doubt the incredible friends I made along the way. I formed close friendships with girls from Australia, Singapore, Germany, Canada, and across the U.S., and we spent our time exploring Asia together—experiencing new cultures, countries, and cuisines. It was truly the highlight of my life.

What amazed me most was realizing how universal girlhood can feel, no matter where we’re from. Despite our different backgrounds, we bonded so deeply in such a short time, and those connections have lasted far beyond the program.

I even met students from other universities in Hong Kong, which made the experience feel even more expansive. From the food and travel to the everyday cultural immersion, I absolutely loved every part of studying abroad and will never forget it."

"The best part of studying abroad was THE PEOPLE!!! Immersing myself in cultures vastly different from my own, learning how different people live, spend their lunch breaks, and raise their families taught me so much about myself. I learned that when it comes down to it, people and connection are the most important thing in the world."

"This is a photo of me summiting the top of Mount Seekofel after a brutal 5 mile climb, and 4,000 feet of elevation. Mount Seekofel is in the Dolomiti Italian Alps, where I backpacked 45 miles over 4 days, and lies on the boarder of Austria. This was when we summited around 7AM."

"The best part about studying abroad was immersing myself into a new culture, and a new way of living. Everyday, I would wake up excited to embark on a new adventure knowing that there was so much to explore. Barcelona was so fundamentally different from Berkeley which made me so curious to learn more about the city. "

"The best part of studying abroad was speaking Spanish! I was so excited to spend an extended period of time in a Spanish-Speaking country as Spanish major. "

We need help picking a new slogan/acronym for our Study Abroad program!

We asked our students which ones they liked and these were the ones they rejected.

BUT we thought they were pretty good! Let us know which one you think we should use next year!
