Have You Ever Thought About Studying Abroad? 

Studying abroad may initially seem daunting, but OBS has feedback on the black UChicago Study Abroad experience. Study Abroad is one of the most interesting experiences that a student can have. Especially for black students, it can be a time to find new friends, explore a new place, and live outside of the “norm”.

Although Study Abroad still has a course load, it tends to be more manageable than the average UChicago course load. Study abroad has language, core curriculum, and direct-enrollment programs. These programs tend to be competitive, so if you apply, please be sure to reach out to former participants for some helpful advice. With much preparation, you could have a chance of studying at your dream spot. The link to programs https://study-abroad.uchicago.edu/programs.

 

My Study Abroad Experience

 

Chilling with the Camel

 

 

“This past winter quarter I was able to study abroad in Rabat, Morocco! I was able to immerse myself in a totally new culture, make new friends, and travel all over Morocco, making this one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I would encourage everyone who has the chance to study abroad because there is really no other experience like it. If you have any questions about Morocco or study abroad more generally, feel free to message me! ”
