Evolved from some 5,000 years of history, Jordan plays an important role in international relations, current Arab-Israeli affairs, migration, and regional humanitarian efforts. Amman, the multicultural capital of Jordan, offers a secure vantage point in the Middle East for studies in Arabic language, culture, and diplomacy. Experience Jordan's unrivaled in café culture, mix of street cuisine, and tradition of hospitality. Farther afield, find yourself climbing through waterfalls, wandering in Indiana Jones' footsteps in Wadi Rum, or floating in the Dead Sea.

I'm grateful I had the opportunity to study abroad in a country where I could learn my native language while learning more about my culture and myself. The people of Jordan are full of life and incredibly hospitable. I can't wait to go back.
