Student Spotlight
EKU Education Abroad Student Spotlight!
Today's Student Spotlight is Hannah Cundiff
Country and Semester of program: Greece, Winter 23/24
Major: Forensic Psychology
Hometown: Somerset, KY
Describe your Education Abroad Program:
I took PSY 299: Psychology of Nonverbal Behavior.
How did the experience differ from your expectations?
The teaching style was drastically different than I expected, in the best way possible. I thought it would be the typical sit down in a room and be lectured at regarding the assigned reading and other class material. Instead, we had casual conversation while exploring the cities we were in. I feel like I learned more in this class than in any other I have taken because we applied the learning to the real world, we were seeing for the first time.
Favorite thing about studying abroad?
I enjoyed the different style of teaching, but I most enjoyed the new experiences I got to make with friends. I did not know anybody else on the trip, but this ended up being for the best. I created a closer connection and friendship with the two girls who ended up being my roommates during the trip than anyone in the States. Just taking long walks to nowhere in particular during our free time was my favorite thing to do.
Suggestions for future study abroad students?
Do not let fear of the unknown stop you from experiencing new things in life. I had never been to an airport, let alone another country, before this trip. If you are scared though, take a group trip even if no one you know will go with you. Going with a group ensured that there was at least one person who knew what they were doing, and you can just ask them questions and follow them through airports if you get confused.
How do you think this experience will impact your future plans?
I plan to study abroad more after experiencing it once. I was also thinking of staying in Kentucky for graduate school even though I really want a career in a different state. Luckily, after my study abroad expe
