– Thanks, Desi. Since I was younger, I’ve always loved learning about new experiences and new environments. Coming from Newark, New Jersey, I knew I wanted two things when it came to college, learning out of state and learning out of the country. Morgan State had it all. When I got to Morgan, my first mission was learning everything I could about the Study Abroad program. Morgan offers so many different destinations and I wanted to make sure I made the right choice. My professors in the Study Abroad website were a great resource. I spent my freshman year exploring all the possibilities, and then I spent my sophomore year exploring Trinidad and Tobago. For 10 days, I studied alongside my professors and my Study Abroad peers immersing ourselves in the island culture. We learned so much about Trinidad on this trip, from their financial systems to the carnival culture. While in Trinidad, I did find out that Morgan State University did partner up with schools in the United Kingdom. A few students came along with us and I was able to build great relationships on this life-changing trip. I’ll never forget my time in Trinidad and Tobago. I owe it all to Morgan State University. Believe the hype. Morgan is all about opportunity. If there’s something you really want, Morgan will help in any way. They can make it happen. Morgan State has enhanced my love for travel and learning about new cultures throughout this firsthand amazing experience. I’ll miss my campus while I’m gone, but I’m already gonna look out for my next study abroad. Back to you. Desi
