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.
