I also came [to UNE] for the Morocco campus. I thought that spending a semester there would be really cool, and I wanted to take advantage of that.

Before diving into my research, I was able to go on the Galapagos travel course…It was one of those things that I knew I was never going to have the chance to do outside of UNE, have that personal of an experience on a trip. It was amazing.

I was planning from my sophomore year to go on the Kenya travel course trip. I knew that it was something that I probably wouldn’t be able to do for the rest of my life.

My semester in Tangier, Morocco gave me a love of travel and a travel course — snorkeling among coral reefs in Belize — gave me a career path.

Marine Science

Studying abroad in Tangier was...probably the best choice I’ve made in my entire life. Being exposed and immersed into a completely new culture is something that woke me up to the vastness of the world.

I think this experience will help me better communicate in two ways: first when speaking French and second when practicing occupational therapy and working with patients who may be non-verbal or hearing impaired.
