“It was really eye opening, just seeing how the
rest of the world lives and seeing what other
people have been through. The genocide there,
I had read about that in textbooks, but meeting
people who had been through it and how they
dealt with it was really amazing.”

“It [the study abroad course] was an amazing trip. It was another
opportunity to go out and explore parts of the world and experience
a different culture besides just being in the United States. It was
a great experience to learn a different culture and to see how they
live on a day-to-day basis for two weeks. It was also great to learn
about sports development and the development of a country.”
