With many things going on in the world right now, especially in Europe it is always great to reflect on my time studying abroad. As lacrosse players at Georgia Tech, experiencing the best combination of engineering and lacrosse, we are constantly encouraged by the coaches to squeeze every opportunity out of this amazing school. Study abroad programs are increasingly growing popular among the student body, and the lacrosse team is no exception. In the summer of 2015, I was fortunate to apart of the Oxford Program. We spent 5 weeks travelling throughout Europe with two of our professors, followed by a 6-week stay at Worcester College of the prestigious Oxford University in England. In 11 weeks, I experienced multiple cities spread out among 12 European countries including France, Czech Republic, Germany and Italy. Each day was an incredible opportunity to experience a variety of cultures with both old and new friends. As an out of state student I wasn't too sure on the cost of studying in another country for a whole summer and I was lucky in that I was awarded grants to achieve this is. At Tech, anything is possible if you are willing to take the time to do what it takes to be successful. For me, a 15 minute application sent me to another continent to experience a once in a life time trip.
