Brooke Roberts, AS'04
Growing up in a tiny town in Kansas with limited exposure to the
outside world, Brooke Roberts nourished her imagination through frequent trips
to the public library. As she says in her biography on her website,
insidestudyabroad.com, “I was able to travel the world and live through the
experiences of others from the comfort of a porch swing.”
But it wasn’t long before she began embarking on her own worldly
adventures. Roberts took a two-week trip through France and Spain during high
school but her international experience expanded vastly when she enrolled at
Northeastern after transferring from Missouri Southern State University. Her
experiences included a semester abroad at Webster University in Geneva,
Switzerland, a summer in France at the Universite d’Orleans, and another
semester in England studying at the London School of Economics and interning in
the British Parliament.
