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. 🔍

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.
