"Studying abroad through Gies College of Business was by far the best experience I had during my years at the U of I. I think everyone should take advantage of the many opportunities that Gies Business Abroad offers in order to open your eyes to the reality that there's much more to the world than what is going on around you. Studying abroad will help broaden your horizons both personally and professionally."

Sofia Sanchez, Marketing '18

"Studying abroad was an opportunity to push the boundaries of my understanding of the world. I was pushed out of my comfort zone each day and that is exactly what fueled my sense of excitement."
