• Ask Away Q+A with Duke students about study away

One of the best ways to find out if a program is a good fit for you is to talk to a student who has gone. Use the resources below to connect with students who have done the program(s) you are interested in pursuing.

GEO PEER ADVISING

GEO Peer Advisors are prepared to help you compare the various types of study away programs available and weigh the pros and cons. They can also give a general overview of the application process and answer quick questions that don't require a 30-minute one-on-one appointment. All GEO Peer Advisors have been trained by GEO experts, and they are eager to answer your questions.

 

STUDY AWAY AMBASSADORS

The Study Away Ambassadors are alumni of study away programs – both Duke-In and Duke-Approved – who have volunteered to be a resource for prospective students. The GEO Ambassador Directory is a master spreadsheet you can filter by program, country, major, graduation year, and even special topics related to study away.

Feel free to reach out to any student listed in the directory.
