This event was put on by the Office of International Affairs in the union for students to learn more about their study abroad options and the different programs OSU and outside organizations have to offer.
During my time at the expo, I was able to talk with the director of the Global May Great Britain Program, one I am very interested in and will be applying to, and learn more about the objectives of the program as well as his personal take away from the experience. It was as interesting as it was informative.
I was also able to speak with a representative from the Spanish study abroad table who gave me very valuable information on the different upcoming study abroad options for Spain. I want to receive either a minor in Spanish or double major in Spanish and neuroscience.
The last education abroad table I visited at the expo was DIS, and they are an outside study abroad organization that represent thirty different majors, one of them being neuroscience. I am very interested in studying abroad my sophomore year, and this program is at the top of my list at the moment.
The Education Abroad Expo was related to international affairs in every way. It was a perfect introduction to the options we have during our four years here for studying abroad, and it was very exciting to map out where I want to go and when while I am at OSU and how each experience will further my education and provide me with an invaluable knowledge of the material I will be studying as well the culture of the country I will be immersed in.
