Eberly Education Leads to World Travel
"Since freshman year, I have been all over the world. I spent a summer in Costa Rica, two weeks in India, and went back to Spain during my junior year for an entire semester in Europe. I've meditated with monks at a Buddhist retreat in Vermont, attended a leadership conference in Washington, DC, organized and led a volunteer trip to Nicaragua, and and even worked for Wall Street."
