Greetings! I'm Andrea Ecklund and I had the wonderful opportunity to study in Scotland in Fall 2011. It was such a glorious and eye-opening experience, and it completely changed my outlook on the world. Everyone says that you will learn something about yourself while you study abroad, and I can personally attest to this. I learned that I am more independent than I thought I was (I went to Paris for 4 days by myself!) and what my true passions and goals in life are. I went to Scotland to take classes for my then major, Marketing Communications, but while there I realized that field was not the right fit for me. It was in Scotland that I discovered my love for psychology, and hopefully one day I can incorporate my career with traveling.

I've wanted to study abroad ever since I was in eighth grade, and I'm thankful that dream of mine came true! If you've been wanting to study abroad for a long time, or are just starting to think about it, I am here to answer any and all questions you may have about this awesome program! Studying abroad and living in another country is one of the most spectacular opportunities we have as college students, and I sincerely hope you consider taking advantage of this!

Cheers!
