Student Advisors

Harvard students who have recently returned from one semester (or more) abroad and are eager to speak with you during drop-in hours at the OIE, over a meal in the dining hall, or for a chat over coffee or tea (on the OIE!) in one of the many coffee spots in the Square!

Semester Study Abroad Student Ambassadors

Semester study abroad ambassadors have spent one or more semesters abroad during their time at the College and volunteer to speak with their peers who are thinking about studying abroad as well. The Semester Ambassadors invite you to contact them with your questions about their experiences abroad. Curious about the country or city they studied in? Their specific study abroad program? The types of courses they took abroad? Ask away!

Summer Study Abroad Student Ambassadors

Harvard students returning from summer study abroad volunteer to speak with interested students and invite you to contact them with your questions about their experiences abroad. Curious about the country or city they studied in? Their specific study abroad program? The types of courses they took abroad? Ask away!
