The greatest thing studying abroad did for me was give me confidence in my own independence and ability. I would 100% recommend studying abroad to anyone I know, and I do at any opportunity. You learn as much about yourself as you do about the country you’re living in.

Study Abroad Scholarships
Students thinking of studying abroad should speak to the Director of Study Abroad and the Office of Financial Aid, as well as exploring scholarship resources. It is important to note that many scholarship opportunities have deadlines that differ from Bridgewater College’s internal deadline, and students are advised to research their options at least six to 12 months before the semester in which they plan to study abroad.
