Welcome to the Villanova Study Abroad Photo Gallery! From Spain to Costa Rica, to Japan, Australia, and South Africa, Villanovans have traveled the globe and taken their cameras with them. This page is a tribute to all those special students who took the chance to journey beyond the borders of Villanova’s campus. Take a moment to explore the world through their lens and perhaps you will be inspired to start planning your own international adventure.

Please log in on Villanova network to vote for best picture.
