GW Office for Study Abroad and Student Exchange

GW Office for Study Abroad and Student Exchange The Office for Study Abroad (OSA) provides and facilitates quality international educational opportunities at The George Washington University.

As educators, we promote the academic, personal, professional, and intercultural development of students before, during, and after their study abroad experiences. We respond effectively to student needs, contribute to campus internationalization, and foster cultural understanding and self-awareness among the student body. The OSA primarily works with undergraduate students; some short-term, faculty-led graduate programs are administered through the OSA as well.

Ryan Kang : “I have finally made it to Hong Kong! It’s been roughly a week since I landed and already I’ve been taken away with the many sights I’ve been to so far. Here’s a small collection of shots I took during some of my outings. Catch you all in the next one!”

Elizabeth Coulson : “I can’t believe it, but I’m now a third of the way through my semester at the University of Sydney! I’ve immersed myself in my studies, learning more about Australian cinema and theater, genetics, brain structures, and health issues from an international standpoint. Over the course of the past two weekends, I also continued exploring Sydney and its surrounding areas. I saw glow worms in an abandoned train tunnel in Helensburgh, a town south of the city. I ventured through a local artist pop-up at Paddington Markets, admired the architecture of St. Mary’s Cathedral, wandered the halls of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and finally walked along the coastal trail between Bondi and Coogee. As a Dance major, I’ve made an effort to find opportunities to dance and see dance performances in Sydney. I’ve recently engaged with weekly classes offered by MADSOC (the Movement and Dance Society at USyd), attended the organization’s 2026 Major Production, and invited friends to join me for an evening of line dancing in North Sydney.”

Elizabeth Coulson : “Over the course of these past two weeks, I have settled into the routine of my academic schedule. However, my adventures haven’t stopped! I’ve had the pleasure of exploring the street art scene in the Surry Hills and Newtown neighborhoods, eating dinner in Chinatown, checking out the vendors at the Carriageworks Farmers’ Market, swimming at Bondi and Coogee, and making art of my own at an event hosted by my accommodation. I also ventured north to the Sydney Harbor National Park, which offered spectacular water and city skyline views. I specifically walked along the perimeter of Bradleys Head, which is a headland that protrudes from the north shore of the Sydney Harbor. The headland is named after naval officer William Bradley, but he wasn’t the only Bradley to make an impact in this area! While they are not related to the naval officer, scientists Joan and Eileen Bradley played an instrumental role in restoring native plant populations that contribute to the beauty of Sydney Harbor National Park. Their methods, developed during the 1970s, are followed to this day!”

michaela g : “Hi everyone! I’m lucky enough to have a bit of time at home before I go abroad, and I wanted to show how I’m spending my time here. First of all, I got my pre-travel shots to stay safe while abroad, went on beautiful drives with my awesome friends, and filled out some passport stuff. Being back home is so special, and needed before I leave next week! First stop, Namibia! xx”
