One year away from home, Cumming resident and Georgia Southwestern State University student Mikaela Shimko studies aboard in China

One of the most unique experiences you can have in college is studying abroad. Georgia Southwestern State University offers a range of study abroad opportunities to its students, including the upcoming service learning program to Peru during spring break and a program to Bulgaria during the first summer session. In addition to these short visits, students are able to attend colleges abroad for semesters at a time. It is this route that Mikaela Shimko from Cumming, Ga. decided to take.
