Study Abroad & International Exchange at APSU

Every spring we host a photo and video contest for our study abroad/away and exchange participants! Each year we get dozens of wonderful photos!

We didn't get a chance to highlight them this spring, so we're going to start with some honorable mentions/staff favorites before we get to the winners 🎉

📍Orléans, France

Excursions to Château de Chambord and Paris made for another busy but exciting week. In class, we continued learning about French history and culture, and even stepped into French theater by acting out scenes ourselves.

I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to experience France not only through its landmarks, but also through its language, history, and everyday culture. Thank you to Austin Peay and everyone who makes opportunities like this possible. 🎉

With the semester coming to an end, I have tried a lot of restaurants near campus. Some of my favorites have been Don Taco (Mexican restaurant, my absolute favorite here), Slow Cali (poke place), 4242 (sandwich shop), and A Twosome Place (cafe), Malatang, and many more!
Getting to try all the different types of food and see the differences in these foods compared to how it is back home, has been wonderful and has introduced me to many kinds of food I will continue to enjoy 🥰

When you do an exchange, you aren't always in classes! You typically have weekends free to explore more of the country you are studying in!
