In March 2020, Transylvania University students who were studying abroad had to return home unexpectedly, and those who had planned adventures overseas during the upcoming May and fall terms found themselves hitting pause on their travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, study abroad programs have rebounded with the advent of vaccines and \u201cthe new normal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fall 2022, seven Transylvania students \u2014 Ally Frederick, Audrey Goodman, Megan Heeb, Farris Herrington, Anna Kelly, Sophie Ritzenthaler and Sam Sadler \u2014 studied abroad through the GlobalTransy program, marking a welcome shift back to travel-based education. Their destinations included London, England; Santiago, Chile; Lyon, France; and Alicante, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman-548x730.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21501\" width=\"371\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman-548x730.jpg 548w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman-263x350.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman-608x810.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Audrey-Goodman.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Audrey Goodman in Paris, France<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Studying abroad allows students to immerse themselves in a new culture. Students who major or minor in a world language have the option to hone their skills by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/academics\/study-abroad\/opportunities\/globaltransy\/\">taking classes that are fully or partially taught in their language of study.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The educational site may also tie directly into the course material, adding another layer of meaning to the subject being studied. For example, Sadler, an English and political science double-major who studied in London, took courses including London\u2019s Literature and Shakespeare: The Comedies and the Histories. Frederick, who studied in Chile and is majoring in Latin American and Caribbean studies, selected a course that focused on women in society from a Latin American perspective and a regional dance class, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While students generally appreciate the unique learning and travel opportunities offered by a semester abroad, the joys are often compounded when shared with a friend. Many Transy students opt to travel with others, whether that means spending a full term learning in the same location as a classmate or taking weekend jaunts to a neighboring country to meet up with fellow student travelers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb-730x411.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb-730x411.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb-690x388.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb-810x456.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Megan-Heeb.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Megan Heeb, who studied in Alicante, Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt almost seems like a cop-out to say it, but every experience I had was my favorite because I got to experience it with my best friends, from watching a fashion show in Paris, to learning the history of WWI in Normandy, to watching World Cup matches in a small pub in the Old Town and screaming <em>allez les bleus<\/em>!\u201d said Goodman, who studied in Lyon with Herrington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time spent in a new environment, away from traditional sources of support, can also boost students\u2019 confidence and allow them to gain critical life skills. \u201cWhen you live in a foreign country, even if you are not learning the language or the country speaks English primarily, there are still challenges you will face in everyday life, and navigating a different lifestyle can be seriously stressful but so rewarding,\u201d Goodman explained. \u201cYou will do a lot of things you didn&#8217;t think were possible and work through complex problems everyday.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick-730x411.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick-730x411.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick-690x388.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick-810x456.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/02\/Ally-Frederick.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ally Frederick, who studied in Santiago, Chile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most ringing endorsement for study abroad may be best expressed in the words of the students who recently returned from last term\u2019s adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStudying abroad has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,\u201d said Sadler. \u201cIt\u2019s a very unique opportunity to go live in another country for a few months, and college is a great time to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frederick added, \u201cI would tell other students that while it may feel and seem scary, impossible, inconvenient or any host of other intimidating feelings, it is more than worth it.
