As a 16-year-old I went abroad to the U.S. to go to High School and to live with a host family. Here, I became a part of the society, experienced a different schooling system compared to the one in Denmark, made friends for life, and, now, I see it as my second home.

For many high school students, the most hated question is usually, “What will you do after you graduate?”. I am here to tell you not to worry, and to show you how last-minute dreams can become reality if you just dare to believe in it.

March had just turned into April. I knew that I wanted to study an undergraduate programme abroad, but with application deadlines being passed left and right, it didn’t appear to be turning out that way for me.

Having lived abroad in the past, I am very familiar will all the benefits of going abroad. Although it is hard to put words on it, living abroad just builds your character and provides you with so many amazing experiences.

One year ago, I made the biggest decision of my life so far - I decided where to go to university.

When I was young and taking public transport I would rather change my route than wait 5 or 10 minutes for the next connection, even if that meant taking a trip that was 20 minutes longer in total, and now, when I’m studying, I take every opportunity that allows me to go abroad.

Hi everyone! Casey here. I’m the Social Media organizer at NSAC and I’m here to tell you about one of the reasons why I, just like everyone else on the NSAC team, have a burning passion for studying abroad and seeking new adventures, regardless of the distance and what it takes.
