Coming on Over

One amazing thing about the study abroad programs is that it not only allow for students in the United States to travel overseas but it allows students from all over the world to come to our lovely little frozen “island” we call Frostburg State University. This year we have 83 exchange students from China, Taiwan, Chile, Barbados, Nigeria, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Serbia, Tanzania, Vietnam, Ecuador, Ghana, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Tajikistan, Turkey and the United Kingdom. One of the most amazing things about being able to study abroad in college is that you get to experience another country with friendly people who know the area and just want to show you a good time.
"International students are offered many of the same services as any other FSU student.  The Center for International Education encourages our international students to take advantage of all activities, get involved in organizations, and build relationships with Americans and other international students," stated Victoria Gearhart at the Center for International Education.

Below is a profile of one of the foreign exchange students that are currently attending Frostburg State University, Carol Wang.
