Next Stop! Singapore Fall 2019
“I’ve seen advertisements for Singapore around the Ted Scott Campus!
In my classes there have been people mentioning it and wondering if it
were “worth it”... I always tell them YES! Are you serious!?!? I tell them
about all the amazing experiences and memories and even new friends
I made during the opportunity to study abroad! I wish so bad that we
were allowed to participate in more than one trip. It was such an
amazing experience that I am still soooooo amazingly grateful for. This
article made me feel nostalgic!” ~Terri Johnson
