    UMD is a bit of me!

    October 18, 2022 /

    (Please ignore that dreadful rhyme!) by Millie Elwell, University of Maryland – College Park After 55 days at the University of Maryland (UMD), I can safely say that I have fully immersed myself into American culture… and it has been a wild ride! From finding the best sushi place on campus (‘The Spot’), having offers to join sororities, and hearing the terrible ‘soccer’ heckles that Americans come up with (my favourite so far: “where’s your water bottle?”, which surely cannot be effective…), UMD has been a whirlwind of laughs.

Spent the weekend in Boston exploring Fenway Park, Harvard, the MassArt Museum and more! The T made it easy to get everywhere while keeping things a bit more sustainable. - GA Amy ❄🚄 🌍#globalambassador #uom_goabroad A weekend trip to Washington DC! Perfect place for politics and history students as it was very educational with free museums and historical buildings to visit! - GA Amy 🇺🇸🧡 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad Our Global Ambassadors write blog posts about their experience studying abroad to inspire and help future students, developing skills from effective communication to storytelling 📝 Interested? Apply now - the deadline is next Friday! 🤩 #uom_goabroad  #globalambassador Some pictures from the start of my second semester at ANU! I've had a wonderful time visiting a local vineyard, a sunflower maze, going in a hot air balloon at the Canberra balloon spectacular and watching the skyfire fireworks over lake burley griffin with friends :) - GA Lily 🎈🧡 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador Same thing. Said two ways. Both agree that you should apply now. #uom_goabroad Some of the fun activities and events that Rutgers has put on for free for all students! A stand-up set by Caleb Hearon, basketball games, a Coach pop-up event, a trip to see the New Jersey Devils play and a trip to the United Nations in New York! - GA Amy 🏀🇺🇸 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad My trip to New York in December, as a layover on my way home. I went to the top of the rock, watched a show, and visited the MET. For students on a travel grant especially, a long layover is a great way to see new places, especially if your journey home is as long as the one from Australia to the UK. - GA Lily ✈️🇺🇸 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador Scholarship opportunity for undergraduate students completing an international experience! Open to any student completing a study abroad, summer school, or a work, internship or traineeship placement in 2026 🌍 First snow in New Jersey, the east coast gets cold and new weather conditions is all part of the new experiences on exchange! - GA Amy ❄ #uom_goabroad #globalambassador
