Andria Torborg


Hello! My name is Andria, and I am a third-year pharmacy student at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy. I am very excited for our study abroad trip to Japan in just a few short weeks from now. I chose to join in this trip because it is an excellent opportunity to gain a more global perspective on pharmacy and healthcare while also learning about another country and culture. While I have enjoyed traveling to many cities within the US, I have never had the opportunity to travel abroad. I figured this would be a great (and safe) first international experience. There are so many aspects of this trip to look forward to, including (but not limited to) meeting the students and faculty at our host university, getting an inside look at pharmacy curriculum and practice in Japan, attending the fireworks festival, sight-seeing, and of course, the food. Traveling with a large group including faculty who are very familiar with the area and the language has really alleviated any concerns or anxiety about the trip. Fun times ahead!
