Students blogging about their experiences abroad.
Hi there! My name is Abzal Iskakov, and I’m a senior at Denison studying Economics and Global Commerce. Last semester I chose to study abroad in Shanghai, China, where I had one of the best experiences of my life. As someone who had never visited China before, studying abroad in Shanghai was full of fun and cultural immersion.

Max Bishop ‘26 is a Junior double-majoring in German and History and double-minoring in communication and music performance at Denison University. Max studied abroad in Heidelberg, Germany, last fall through the American Junior Year at Heidelberg (AJY) program.
While there, Max worked on two research projects. The first was a small writing piece about Karl Heinrich, a book by Wilhelm Meyer-Förster, which then became a play called Old Heidelberg, an operetta called The Student Prince, and a film of the same name.
