Clarkson offers a lot of international experience [and] study abroad opportunities.

And those range from places anywhere from UK, France, Sweden all the way to Singapore and Australia and South Korea.

I know the business school requires a global experience.

And they're also some travel classes and those are typically like I think, wait two weeks, versus a study abroad experience, which is a full semester and then sometimes you can even go into the summer or you do an internship over the summer abroad.

So there's a lot of different opportunities to go places.

This past summer as an undergraduate researcher, I went as a visiting scientist to the Technical University of Denmark, with research based on water quality and analytical chemistry.

This is a very unique opportunity to me as an undergraduate researcher, because I was looking for an opportunity where I could do a research internship at a university from an international country.

Getting knowledge from there has helped me understand my chemistry skills in a better way. And it's helped me more than I'm dealing with environmental engineering courses.

This current semester, I went on a trip for two weeks. I went -- our first week -- in Munich, Germany.

And then our second week I went to Reykjavik, Iceland. I chose to do the two-week trip over a whole semester abroad because of my athletics.

I think Clarkson does a really amazing job of giving students an opportunity to have that two week trip if they can't commit a whole semester.

You know, being able to go to another country within itself is huge.

And I got to go to two which I think is even cooler to be able to see Iceland, especially, you know, with a group of students your age, you're never really going to go on a trip with 30 people your age ever in your life except for really this opportunity.

So I thought that was really cool.

It was one of the greatest decisions I ever made was to go on that abroad trip and I'll definitely never regret it.

It got me out of my comfort zone but I am extremely grateful for it!
