Each course is being taught by professors from multiple different colleges and disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said studying abroad creates countless opportunities and improves students\u2019 critical thinking, problem solving and provides a great experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTRGV marketing senior Karla Medrano mentioned her key takeaway from a study abroad course she took.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s not better or it\u2019s not worse, it\u2019s just different,\u201d Medrano said. \u201cIt\u2019s really important to us to remind ourselves how every culture is distinct and whether whatever way you take it, it\u2019s a learning experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Miles said safety is a priority when studying outside the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p> \u201cThis is the safest way for young people to travel,\u201d Miles said. \u201cYou are chaperoned by faculty that know the country. The UT System has a very sophisticated risk management system that does not allow anybody to go anywhere where there\u2019s any danger.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She also mentioned students who return from studying abroad say it was the most amazing experience of their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on study abroad programs, visit utrgv.edu\/ga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Pete Mendoza for Vaquero Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pete Mendoza Hundreds of students had the opportunity to learn what study abroad programs will be available at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":6665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[606,609,44,194,42,413,26],"class_list":["post-6664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic","tag-606","tag-abroad","tag-news","tag-spring","tag-students","tag-study","tag-utrgv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
