About Kendall: Kendall is a senior at Penn State majoring in psychology and participated in a study abroad experience in Athens, Greece. Through a faculty-led program, Kendall explored historical sites such as the Acropolis with professors from Penn State's campuses. In her 6 weeks abroad, she was able to complete 6 credits in psychology through in-class learning and field trips. Kendall is excited to help other students find study-abroad experiences that are right for them just as other peer advisers had done for her. 

Advice to Prospective Education Abroad Students: As cheesy as it sounds, studying abroad truly changes your life. Students get a new sense of independence and learn about different cultures that they really can't experience anywhere else. My advice would be: take the leap! I am here to help with any questions you have and assure you that studying abroad is the adventure of a lifetime.
