Hello! My name is Tessa, and this fall I will be studying abroad at the University of Granada in Spain! Currently, I’m a junior at FCRH majoring in sociology and minoring in marketing on the pre-law track. I chose Fordham in Granada because it offers academic and experiential opportunities in a vibrant city filled with rich history and culture. What I love about the location is that it balances the liveliness of city life with places to escape and relax within nature. I can’t wait to meet new people and learn more about the world from different lenses. This semester I am really excited to immerse myself in the community while making lasting memories and connections.

Lee Loveland
Copenhagen, Fall 2026

Hi! I’m Lee Loveland, and I’m a junior from southern Utah majoring in psychology. I will be studying in Copenhagen, Denmark this fall through DIS. This semester, I can’t wait to explore Copenhagen’s medieval streets, visit its palaces and architectural landmarks, and view the harbor lined with historic waterfront buildings. I chose to study in Copenhagen because its consistent ranking as one of the world’s happiest cities makes it an especially compelling place to study psychology. Additionally, DIS offers a very strong psychology program that is closely aligned with my academic interests, particularly in developmental and cognitive psychology. Furthermore, I appreciate how the DIS program prioritizes student support and cultural immersion so that students can forge meaningful connections and fully engage with the experience.
