Meet Rachel C.

"This was my first time in Europe. I ended up having so much fun in my classes abroad, and with my new friends, that I am now inspired to help others through the study abroad process. I think that my program did an amazing job at pairing me up with girls that are like me, which made living with strangers a lot smoother."
