When asked whether she'd been involved in a study abroad program before.
"No."
On the topic of why she hasn't taken part in a study abroad program.
"I definitely have wanted to, I guess it's just I haven't really had the resources to find the opportunity for that."
"I could do it on my own but I guess it's just too much work."
Hughey on the positive aspects of travel abroad programs.
"Definitely being able to experience more than just the American culture, cause I mean there's more than that outside of college."
When asked where she'd like the opportunity to study.
"Germany, I've actually been before and I wanted to go to college there but then once I got out of high school it didn't work out."
On why she'd choose to study in Germany.
"Family heritage, we're from there so I'm really interested in it."
On the potential downside of travel abroad programs.
"I guess just being somewhere different, depending on where you are can be dangerous for an American somewhere."
On how Texas State could do a better job getting study abroad information out to students.
"I know there's information out there, I've had emails sent to me so I guess more personal in a way cause I mean it's just emails they're sending. I haven't had anyone really talk to me about it, maybe like a seminar or something."

"No"
On her interest in taking part in a study abroad program.
"I'm only a freshman so I'm actually not opposed to it and it's kind of on my long term plan. I just haven't looked that far into it."
On what location(s) she'd enjoy studying in.
"I know for theater majors we're going to London but I would kind of like to go somewhere a little more exotic, I just don't know, maybe South America."
On the benefits of study abroad.
"Deeper appreciation for just people in general, then when you hear stuff on the news it's not so out there, you feel connected to it."
On the issues of getting information about study abroad programs.
"I just don't know how they work. I know for actors we have a London specific study abroad class but is that the only one I'm allowed to take, am I allowed to take other ones, do I have to take a class for it?"

On her involvement in any internships or study abroad programs.
"No, but I plan to do internships this summer."
On her interest in doing a study abroad class.
"Possibly, but all the programs I've seen don't really apply to my major or something along those lines."
Peebus on what she'd like offered as a program.
"A lot of the art ones aren't specific to photography and I know it'd probably be difficult to get one specific to that but it would be nice."
On the difficulty of spreading the word about.
"It's difficult cause they could totally give handouts but people usually ignore those, like when people stand in the quad. I think it's completely up to the person if they're interested in it, to find it on their own."
On the benefits of study abroad.
"Just experiencing the way people interact in different cultures, and I think its the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis that says you can't learn things outside of your own language and your own culture, so I mean not only do you learn new cultural things but you can expand how much you can learn about your own."
