We've recently added several new direct exchanges including Limerick, Ireland; Bangkok, Thailand; Stuttgart, Germany; Buenos Aires, Argentina and Copenhagen,Sweden,Denmark,said Amy Johnson, adviser and outreach coordinator for the Office of International Programs.My experience abroad changed how I previously thought about everything from food to politics, said Russell Shackelford, a junior majoring in agriculture who studied abroad at University of Western Australia.Never leaving the northwestern United States before my study abroad experience meant I was in for a huge culture shock. But, overall, I definitely grew as a person and had the experience of a lifetime.
