The University of Wisconsin-Madison has sent a record 2,276 students overseas for study abroad programs in the last year, and in light of recent terrorist attacks, students currently studying abroad are telling their peers those fear tactics shouldn’t deter them.
UW is ranked 10th in the country for the number of students studying abroad, according to the 2015 Open Doors Report on international educational exchange. Daniel Gold, of the university’s study abroad center, said safety has always been top priority.
