“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours…If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them. ” – Henry David Thoreau

Is one of your biggest dreams to travel? Imagine studying abroad in Italy, Australia, England, and Ireland, the most popular places students will be studying abroad next semester.
