My unexpected experience on Semester at Sea
by: Reece Livingstone - United StatesProgram: Semester at Sea: Global Study Abroad on a Floating CampusSemester at Sea was an exceptional program that pushed me out of my boundaries and showed me the beauty of learning by experience. Not only does the program curate well-accomplished professors from around the world but finds ones who really care about their work and about their students. Not many people can say they have spent the day with their professor eating breakfast on a ship, to then going on a safari in the plains of Kenya, and finishing the day by snorkeling in a marine park to study co...

I learned so much from this experience, all of my professors were so dedicated and involved, and the community on the ship was absolutely incredible!!!!! I have memories from this experience that will definitely shape my life for the better. After figuring out how to travel in other countries, I feel so prepared for all the challenges I might face back home. Definitely do this experience--it is absolutely...
Best thing I did for myself
by: Noelle Chandler - United StatesProgram: Semester at Sea: Global Study Abroad on a Floating CampusThis was the most amazing experience. I learned so much on this voyage that I cannot even describe. Being able to go to so many countries and learn about voyaging on the water was so impactful. I learned all about each country we were voyaging to through the Global Studies class that was required for all voyagers and my classes opened my eyes to new ideas about different topics and how the whole world is impacted. Each port I got to experience something new that I never thought I would be ab...

Absolutely without a doubt, keep an open mind. Also, eat. It sounds so silly, but when you're traveling around and your blood sugar drops, I don't care who you are or who you're with, it's hard to stay nice.

I actually had the opportunity to do two semesters abroad, so I had the best of both worlds! I studied in Heidelberg,Germany for one semester and then did Semester at Sea for my second semester of junior year. This was a great opportunity to experience one culture more in depth (my time in Heidelberg) versus the comparative nature of a multi-country program (Semester at Sea).

I've always been passionate about different healing techniques. I chose Semester at Sea because I wanted to get a taste of a number of countries so I could explore various cultural healing modalities on one trip. I also wanted to live on a ship, because, well, it's awesome. Semester at Sea allowed me the structure to get the experience and knowledge I craved without planning and paying for multiple trips.
