"People need to see that, far from being an obstacle, the world's diversity of languages, religions and traditions is a great treasure, affording us precious opportunities to recognize ourselves in others."

-- Youssou N'Dour, Musician

The Global-LLC opens its doors to students of all majors and classifications. As members of an intercultural community, students have the opportunity live in suites with students from all over the world. Although study abroad is not a requirement of the Global-LLC, many students will choose to utilize the Global-LLC experience as a place to put their knowledge and skills to practice. Global Community members prepare for their time overseas by practicing their target language and developing a good understanding of the culture in which they will be immersed. Those who return to the Global-LLC after studying abroad have a wealth of knowledge and enriching experiences to share.
