Marta Hardardottir saved her fun, interesting college classes for her year abroad at the University of Minnesota.
“Statistics, methodology, social theories — I can take that at home,” Marta said.
Here, she’s focused on classes examining race, inequality, social movements, international law, and gender studies.
“The teachers are all insanely good at what they do,” Marta said. “There are a lot of discussion-based classes so you get to talk and get to know people.”
Marta has always wanted to study somewhere outside Iceland.
“I thought it would be a good way to widen my horizon, get to know other cultures, as well as my own,” she said. “I feel like you never know your own culture until you actually leave it. And it’s a good way to learn more about myself, which I definitely think I have done.”
