One semester abroad too short? Jendy studied a full academic year in Lancaster.
Interested in the Sciences or Music? "Lancaster University specifically caters to North American science students. I was provided the opportunity to take the MCAT, and they even have an extensive music department...it was a perfect match for me!"

Jendy's advice. . ."No matter what barriers may present themselves (cost, credits), this WILL be the best experience of your life so far. Don't give yourself reasons why you can't go abroad. There will never be a better time. And, you'll be a different person with new perspectives when you return."

Jendy describes her experience as. . . "exhilarating, spiritual, transforming, unbelievable."

Where? Jess loved her experience so much she studied abroad twice with two different Lycoming programs. First, Jess traveled abroad during Lycoming's May Term on the Business Internship Program in Oxford, England and the following semester she spent at the Tandem Escuela Internacional in Madrid, Spain.
The Internship: Jess spent six weeks at Motorworld Car Dealership in the heart of Oxford as a Marketing Intern. Jess received credits toward graduation, however, more importantly, she experienced a second-to-none international internship that will be sure to stand out on her résumé for future employers.
Lycoming's Affiliate, Tandem Escuela Internacional: "I knew I wanted to experience the Spanish culture. It was a difficult decision because there are so many places to choose from, but I'd highly recommend Tandem to anyone wanting to experience Spain."

Jess describes her experiences as. . ."priceless, lucky, unimaginable."
Jess's advice. . . "Do it, you won't regret it! It is a very intimidating step, but do not let your fears get in the way of what could be the most incredible experience in your life."
