MEET SARA WAGNER:
A Study Abroad Experience in China
“Don’t let anything hold you back whether it’s the money, a job, or availability; take the time to travel now. This was the trip of a lifetime and I loved every minute of it!” — Sara Wagner, UW-Madison junior from Trevor, WI.

Junior, Interior Design
Why did you decide to study abroad?
From the time I got to campus freshman year, I wanted to study abroad. I have always been intrigued by different cultures and my goal is to learn and experience as many as I can. This was an opportunity not only to travel around the world, but also to gain insight on interior design and architecture that will forever aid my education and future career. Before traveling to China, I had never been out of the U.S.
Why did you choose to go to China?
The Feng Shui study abroad program to China is perfectly catered to fit the needs of interior design students. Professor Wei Dong, the head of design at UW–Madison, personally takes us around China to see and experience all that it has to offer. All of the design students that went on the trip previously absolutely loved it and recommended it highly.
