Hey there!
How are you? To be honest we're feeling extra proud this week because our Film Festival started, and as always, these student films got right to the heart of what makes study abroad so totally, absolutely, undeniably amazing! 🎬While we wait for travel to safely resume, let these films from Tokyo, London, and Nantes blow you away with the sights you'll see ⛩, the friends you'll make 🧑🤝👧, and the fun you'll have abroad 🎉.

Now that you’ve seen the films, you’ll understand why this week we had to dive into the most authentic, unique, unfiltered, and captivating lens there is. You got it: the student lens. 🔍
From the literal lenses students are using to capture their experiences abroad 📸, to pieces by students just telling it from their POV ✍🏼, here are our picks to remind you of the power of the student voice.

This spring was not how any of us pictured it. Christopher shares the story of 22 Siena students and their unexpected time abroad.
Moving halfway across the country [for a job] was a terrifying decision for me. If I hadn't gone abroad and already experienced what it was like to leave home for four months, I don't think I would have taken such a bold leap and pursued storytelling professionally.
Your study abroad adventure is just around the corner, and we can't wait to see how it looks through your lens!
P.S. It's never too early to start dreaming about study abroad. In fact now's the perfect time! Grab a catalog, jam packed with student content, and then join us in the final weeks of our Zoom Around the World Info Series, which all end with 10 minutes of live Q&A.
