Eric is a senior majoring in Agricultural and Consumer Economics and minoring in International Development Economics. He studied abroad in Rome, Italy during the spring semester of his junior year and did a short-term program in Paris, London, and Brussels the summer before his senior year. The most impactful experience he had abroad was learning how to communicate and work with the local people that differ across both language and culture. The biggest piece of advice that he has for prospective students is to embrace being outside of your comfort zone, because that’s how to get the most out of your experience abroad and grow as a person.
