Student Feedback

“My decision to go abroad for work and study was the best I have made at Yale. Not only did I gain valuable experience and direction for my senior research projects, but I also enriched my degree by demonstrating cultural aptitude, independence, and resourcefulness. Whether for work or study, time abroad is an integral part of both the Yale degree and indeed the Yale experience.”
