Studied abroad in Nepal

Study Abroad Program

Nepal: Summer 2024

“Studying abroad in Nepal was the most unique experience of my life so far. Being immersed in Nepali culture—whether we were touring Buddhist monasteries in Pokhara or trekking through the mountains of the Mustang region—filled me with awe, wonder, and curiosity.

“Studying in Nepal enabled me to learn through experience; we got to see what we had been studying before the abroad in real life, which solidified the learning for me.

“I’ll never forget our host family at one of the villages who cooked us delicious food from their kitchen, the kindness of the trekking guides, and the conversations we had with herders on the sides of mountains. Grateful is an understatement!”
