Study Abroad

Hi everyone! I’m Armughan, and this semester, I’ll be studying abroad in Granada through Fordham’s partnership with the Universidad de Granada. Currently, I’m a junior studying Computer Science with a minor in Political Science, so I look forward to exploring how these interests intersect while immersing myself in a cultural environment that is completely new. Having never been to Spain, my Spanish definitely needs a lot of work so I am particularly excited to use my time abroad to improve it through daily life experiences. I can’t wait to meet new people, explore new places, and find my place in Granada. I’m very glad that I get to bring you all along!

Hello! My name is Christophene, and I am going to be studying abroad in Tokyo, Japan with Temple University! I chose this program because as a Visual Arts major, I wanted the opportunity to take art classes that I feel align most with the creative mediums I want to explore in Japan. Also, I have a strong passion for food and cooking so I am excited to try new foods and cook some amazing dishes. I’m excited to spend the next four months living in Tokyo and completely immerse myself in another culture. I’m looking forward to figuring out the train system and exploring as much of the island as possible!

My name is Kaila Chin, and I am currently a junior at Rose Hill double majoring in Computer Science and New Media and Digital Design. I will be studying abroad in Scotland at the University of Edinburgh this semester and could not be more excited. I chose this program not only because it offers a variety of opportunities and courses for both my majors (especially computer science), but also because of the city’s rich culture, history, and landmarks. From the winding, cobblestone streets to the beautiful Highlands to the looming castle, I cannot wait to explore the city and its architecture, search for my favorite coffee shop, and visit the unique and historic shops in Edinburgh. I am so excited for this opportunity!

Hello! I’m Claire, and I’m studying abroad in Rabat, Morocco with Amideast. I’m a junior majoring in Humanitarian Studies and double minoring in Biology and Peace and Justice Studies. I’m really looking forward to all of my classes, as well as eating amazing food and exploring the country! I’m learning Arabic, which is one of the main reasons why I chose this program; even though the Moroccan dialect is quite different compared to other MENA countries, I’m still super excited for this opportunity to experience the culture and broaden my understanding of the region. I can’t wait to share my experience with you all!

Hey! My name is Megan and I’m a junior at FCRH studying Environmental Studies with a minor in Peace and Justice Studies. This spring I’ll be studying abroad in Costa Rica through The School for Field Studies’ Ecological Resilience program! I’m super excited to get hands-on experience with the country’s amazing biodiversity and to do things I can't do in New York. I chose SFS because of their unique approach to a semester abroad, which includes intensive field work and a deep dive into Costa Rica’s sustainability efforts. I can’t wait to experience the culture of Costa Rica, and to be able to share what I’m up to!

Hey! I’m Om and I’m a junior Gabelli student studying abroad in London this semester! I chose to study abroad because I wanted to live and explore a new country and to study in a dynamic city. I chose London specifically because of the diverse selection of courses that are offered and to have the ease of the Fordham education while studying abroad, signifying Fordham's emphasis on ‘cura personalis.’

Hey! I’m Paula and I am going to be studying abroad in Australia this semester with the University of Sydney! I am a junior DTEM major and Marketing/Disability Studies Double Minor. I’m most excited to escape the cold and be in close proximity to all the arts, culture, and nature in a vibrant new city! I chose the University of Sydney due to their pioneering of my course of study, Design Computing, and their rich knowledge of the digital media industry in general!
