“Deciding to study abroad at Keele University was one of the best decisions of my life. While being able to complete courses towards my mathematics degree, I was able to travel to several new countries in Europe and really catch the travel bug. The campus at Keele is similar in size to SUNY Plattsburgh, and has that at home atmosphere that you want when going abroad. When returning home my time abroad really impacted me and ultimately led me to a new career path, so really the experience changed my life forever. I will never forget the friendships I made and will continue those relationships throughout my life. If possible, take the chance to study abroad at Keele!” — Brooke Layhee, studied at Keele Fall ’15

“Studying abroad was unlike any experience I dreamed of having in college. It taught me so much more about myself and people from all over the world than any textbook, video or photo ever could, and that experience has changed me for the better. Studying journalism in another country, planning trips on my own and speaking with people from many different backgrounds helped me gain valuable skills that will benefit me in the working world upon graduation.” — Jessica Blondell, studied at Chester Spring ’15
