Motivation to Study Abroad: Student Survey
Latin American and the Caribbean is a geographically and culturally diverse region that only a small percentage of US students choose as their destination for study abroad. In collaboration with the Diversity Abroad Network, we are researching who, how, and why students choose to study in this part of the world. 

You are receiving this study because you went to Latin America or the Caribbean during your course of study. Your participation in this research will contribute to a growing body of knowledge to improve access, equity, and inclusion for students who are looking to study, intern, and volunteer abroad.

The answers from this survey will be anonymous, aggregated, and used for the purpose of illustrating trends in the field. The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. If you have questions or concerns, please contact members@diversityabroad.org
