Hear directly from students whose careers and perspectives were transformed by a Sport Study Abroad program.
Nadeem
Student, Guilford College
"This study abroad trip was genuinely one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences I've had during college. Getting the chance to explore cities while learning about sport, culture, and communication from people actually working in the field made everything we've talked about in class feel real and relevant. It wasn't just about sightseeing—it was about connecting what we've learned to the world around us, and that made a huge impact on me. The balance between academic content and cultural exploration was spot-on."
