Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Over 300,000 U.S. students studied abroad in the academic year 2015-2016, and the number is growing. (NAFSA) To understand the experiences of students who study internationally during their college education, I conducted semi-structured interviews with HSU students who studied abroad in the last three years. With my study, I wanted to understand how various aspects of study abroad programs, like housing, length, community interactions, and so forth, impact the student’s enjoyment of their program. My aim is to provide feedback for study abroad leaders to create meaningful programs for students.
