A Semester in Snaps Contest

Are you obsessed with Snapchat? Do you happen to be studying abroad for the Spring 2017 Semester? If so, we want YOU to take over the StudentUniverse Snapchat. Whether you're jetting off to Europe, Australia, South America, or anywhere else in the world, we are looking for someone to document his or her travels for our viewers! Food, culture, friends, experiences, architecture — you name it!


This contest has ended. Add studentuniverse on Snapchat to watch Stefaan's adventures through Europe!

If you have a passion for travel, a little bit of spunk and plan to explore various countries (or parts of the country you're in) while you're abroad, we'd love for you to enter. Please submit a video application showing off your personality and telling us about your study abroad plans. We also ask for you to submit a quick blurb telling us where you're traveling, why you selected the country you're studying in and what weekend trips you have planned. We encourage creativity!
