Student voices
I hope that all U of I students look into their options to study abroad, because I believe that everyone has something to gain from their travels.
The LAS Vienna Diplomatic Program was an amazing opportunity to learn about US diplomatic efforts and the inner workings of multilateral affairs!
Learning about the Incas through books does not compare to actually being in the Land of the Incas. This was definitely an experience of a lifetime.

Fatima Naveed - Administrative Intern
I'm a junior studying Interdisciplinary Health Sciences with a concentration in Health Diversity. I studied abroad in Spring 2024 in Istanbul, Turkiye at Bogazici University, and had the most wonderful experience! Currently, I'm also involved in Students for Environmental Concerns, Camp Kesem that helps children through a parent's cancer, and epidemiology research. I love poetry, and anything outdoorsy and sportsy related, especially running and climbing!
