Meet Edmond, a study abroad student in Copenhagen.
Hello, my name is Edmond, and I am a senior majoring in humanitarian studies at the Rose Hill campus. I’m so excited to study in Copenhagen this semester to see the area’s awesome landscapes and historic architecture - all while being able to walk or bike through the city. Most importantly, studying in Copenhagen will give me access to several unique programs that will complement my humanitarian studies.
Meet John, a study abroad student in Italy
Hey! My name is John and I am going to be studying abroad with the Università Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore (Catholic University of the Sacred Heart) in Milan, Italy! I am looking forward to backpacking through the Dolomites, learning about European business culture, and traveling to my great grandparents hometown in Southern Italy. I chose Università Cattolica because I wanted to be connected to a historic and religiously affiliated institution like Fordham. I plan on studying Italian Catholicism while in Italy and this University will allow me to complete this goal with ease. I also will have the opportunity to be right in the middle of Italy’s financial center, furthering my coursework and showing me new perspectives
Meet Lola, a study abroad student in Amsterdam.
Hey everyone! My name is Lola and I will be studying abroad in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I am a rising junior at FCLC majoring in Psychology and minoring in Public and Professional Writing.

Meet Matthias, a study abroad student in Granada.
Hi everyone! I’m Matthias and I am so excited to be studying abroad in Granada this Fall as a current Senior studying Journalism at Fordham College Lincoln Center! I am looking forward to traveling throughout Spain and Europe and having the opportunity to use my Spanish skills while meeting new people from around the world. Plus, taking lots of pictures! Spain is one of my favorite countries in the world, and Fordham’s partnership with the Universidad de Granada makes the Granada program incredibly well supported. I am also excited to get to know my fellow Fordham students who will be exploring the world along with me in the program.
Meet Quincy, a study abroad student in Berlin.
Hello! I’m Quincy, a junior at Rose Hill double majoring in International and Environmental Studies. This fall I will be studying in Berlin, Germany at Freie Universität. Berlin is a vibrant place for up-and-coming innovations, especially in sustainability, which is why I’m excited to study abroad here. I really look forward to exploring the variety of architecture and events the city has to offer.
Meet Upama, a study abroad student in London
Hello! My name is Upama and I am a current Junior studying Global Business with a concentration in Digital Media and Technology. I will be studying with Fordham in London this fall. I am looking forward to traveling around Europe and getting to know the diverse communities that reside in London. I’m also really excited to visit historical sites and go to the many museums and theaters. As the London Global Ambassador, I can’t wait to show you guys my journey through my lens ;) I chose this program because as someone who grew up in NYC, the bustling city life of London is not too different from what I know so while in a new place, I’ll still have a strong sense of home!
Meet Youssef, a study abroad student in Singapore
Hello! I am Youssef and I will be studying in Singapore this fall semester at Singapore Management University. I am a current senior at Fordham studying Global Business with a Tech concentration. I am an amateur Chef, so I am most looking forward to diving into the food scene this semester in Singapore and learning how to make some local classics. I chose this program because growing up in New York, I knew any time spent abroad would have to be in another cityscape. Singapore is perfect as I get to have that global metropolitan experience while being in close proximity to visit some of my other dream cities like Tokyo and Seoul!
