I would be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely anxious about how my study abroad trip was going to go, especially since I did not personally know any other students going on the trip as well. I am partaking in the International Financial Reporting study abroad...

It has been an incredible few weeks. I feel like the world just became a lot smaller after taking the global business course. I know I am going to miss all the people and places I visited. I already have an itinerary for a return trip. My favorite part of the course...

The international business class that I am taking abroad covers three different countries including Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. My favorite place so far in the countries that we visited is Siem Reap in Cambodia. It has been incredible to visit several different...

I chose to study abroad in Asia because I thought it would provide me with an immersive experience in Southeast Asia where I would have otherwise never been. It helped me earn credit towards my masters degree for an international business class. When I was preparing,...

Today I leave for Florence, Italy, for one of the most exciting trips of my life. During the weekdays, I will be studying Italian to complete my Italian minor, and on weekends, I will be travelling around Italy and learning about the culture of my Italian roots. I...

One foot in front of the other, they say. It will be easy, they say. It is not that steep, they say. These statements were all said as we trekked through the cemetery to begin the tiki trail. Sounds friendly enough? WRONG! As soon as we begin, I face a steep climb...

As my trip to Madrid, Spain for the UA in Spain: Language and Culture study abroad program approaches, I’ve learned that the time leading up to an experience abroad can be filled with excitement…and lots of to-do’s! But I’ve also learned that with the right game plan,...

One of the most exciting days while abroad included time spent wandering the Palace of Versailles. As a first-time traveler to Europe, this was high on my list of must-dos, and it surely did not disappoint. After overcoming some minor bumps in the road there (i.e....

My time in Italy was truly the best. I can’t imagine how much guilt I’d feel if I didn’t go because everyone on my trip from students to instructors were amazing and I loved meeting all of them. Our last day was split between Capri and Sorrento and they were such...

Rome was so much fun despite the very little time we had here. We got to see the Vatican and the Colosseum in the same day. I will say this has been the longest day by far (we were up and moving around 6 am) and I’m just now getting back to our hotel at 10 pm. I think...

Coming to Florence has been so much fun and every experience has been so worthwhile. We landed in Rome and took a train to Florence which was cool because we got to see the countryside and all of the poppies that were growing on the side of the tracks. When we got to...

Having been in Athens, Greece for a week, I noticed many things that are different from normal customs in the United States: walking to places is more common, meals at restaurants take longer, and public transportation is more efficient. However, I think my favorite...

As I was preparing for my trip, I felt many emotions. I was so excited to leave but also so anxious to leave my family and especially my mom. I had to remember that this is an amazing opportunity to study and intern abroad in Rome, Italy. I applied to the CEA program,...

Since coming to Stellenbosch, I have had a variety of amazing experiences. During our first week, we had an accelerated course examining the political history of South Africa with one of Stellenbosch’s best professors. Because the class size was so small, we...

Jumping headfirst into a new life abroad may come with some surprises. While students get settled and immerse themselves in their new home, they might realize some shifts in daily life! Something that you might notice right away is that you can no longer eavesdrop on...

I used Whatsapp for all communication purposes. Then for social media continued with Instagram and Snapchat. Apple Maps, I used for all walking directions, and all public transportation. It is great for subways, the tube, trams, buses, and more. Trenitalia is used for...
