Study Abroad in Multiple Countries

I am deeply thankful for the guidance and support from my mentor during my dementia care innovation project. Over the 12 weeks, I learned so much—from designing a survey to researching patients' & caretakers’ needs and creating user personas. Her expertise in technology and healthcare was crucial, encouraging me to think creatively and empathetically. She offered valuable feedback and motivation while inspiring me with their passion for making a positive impact. This experience has inspired me on using technology for social good.

Of all the decisions I’ve made, choosing Semester at Sea as my study abroad program was by far the best. I knew I wanted to explore multiple countries rather than stay immersed in just one, and when I discovered SAS in my university’s offerings, I immediately knew it was the perfect fit. Over four unforgettable months, I traveled to 10+ countries across 3 continents, creating lifelong memories along the way. The shipboard community is truly one-of-a-kind—tight-knit, supportive, and full of energy. I made some of my closest friends while learning about new cultures in the most hands-on way possible. From visiting the Taj Mahal to riding camels in the Sahara Desert, each moment was unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a more enriching, exciting, or transformative experience. I’m forever grateful for Semester at Sea—and I hope you find a journey just as meaningful.
