“During my semester abroad (Spring 2019) I studied at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland during my sophomore year and took three history courses that transferred back to Ramapo to fulfill 200-level requirements for my major. Taking classes abroad helped me better understand the historical times I have studied as I was able to visit and experience places for myself, along with learn alongside students who approached historical analysis from a different cultural perspective. I was able to take an American history course which was really eye-opening as I listened to what students in the U.K learned and thought about American history and compare it to how it is taught at Ramapo. The faculty I worked with as well were incredibly knowledgeable about the subjects they taught and were a great resource if I ever had questions or concerns. Studying abroad as a history major I definitely feel more prepared to enter my field of study and have a fueled excitement to explore more of the world as it pertains to different cultures and societies.”
