STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM - STUDENT EXPERIENCES

Ashley Yanchik
Biology Major
Graduating Class of 2007
Arcadia Summer Internship
Sydney , Australia

How did you select your Study Abroad location?

I chose to participate in the Sydney Summer Internship program through Arcadia University because I had always dreamed of visiting Australia , and because this was one of the few programs that was able to offer an internship associated with veterinary medicine.

Why did you want to study abroad?

As a resume builder and to experience life in another country.

What was the highlight of the experience?

Experiencing life in a different country rather than just visiting it, seeing new places, and meeting new people.

What surprised you the most?

How similar our culture was to that of Australia .

How has this experience affected your major and future career?

This experience was a great resume builder and provided me with veterinary experience.

What would you tell students considering studying abroad?

If a student is giving it the slightest consideration, they should go ahead and do it. It's a magnificent experience in so many ways, and is a great way to earn credits and experience another culture at the same time.
