Waterfalls, Rainforests, and Research in Ecuador

If you are on the fence about studying abroad — go! I spent three weeks in the cloud forests, highlands, and rainforests of Ecuador and it was the most thrilling thing I have ever done! Studying in a classroom is one thing, but going to the places and seeing the things you are studying is entirely different. I have so many new stories between night-hiking, researching, rainstorms, and waterfalls. Thank you, GEO and UO, for this amazing adventure!
