OMG!!!!!!! Croatia seriously was the prettiest, cleanest place I’ve ever been to. We had class pretty much everyday from 9 to 11 or 12 and got the rest of the day to ourselves to explore! We discovered this super cool cave bar that was built into an actual cave...

Studying abroad is often described as a life-changing experience, and my time in Barcelona definitely lived up to that promise. Before I set off on this adventure, my worldview was pretty limited, shaped mostly by my immediate surroundings. But living in such a...

I’ve truly been enjoying my experience studying abroad in Rome. The professors that I have at my university are wonderful and truly care about their students’ comprehension of the material. It’s been a wonderful experience to not only learn the...

T minus 60 minutes before I board the plane to head off to London. Definitely a lot of different emotions right now, feeling everything from extreme excitement to overwhelming anxiety. It is definitely tough to leave all of your friends and family behind after what...

After spending 4 months in Milan, I finally returned back to the United States and it truly was bittersweet. I loved my time abroad and I really do miss being there, but at the same time it was a very long time to be away from my family and I did miss home. It may...

Rome is known for its prominent ancient history and I have visited every attraction and landmark there is to see. It was breathtaking to see the Colosseum in real life and envision the combats between gladiators that took place once before. The city has so much...

When traveling to Australia, my luggage got lost in LAX. It took 4 days for my luggage to be delivered to me in Melbourne, Australia. This experience taught me about adapting to unexpected changes. At first, I was stressed about not having my suitcase, especially...

Before leaving for your study abroad, think about how you want to document your travels. This looks different for everyone. While studying abroad, I use Instagram stories to share pictures of the different activities I did. It was easy for me to put all of these...

I am gluten free and this was my first time traveling abroad. I was nervous it would be hard to find gluten free food or food that was labeled. My first meal was on my Delta flight. For dinner I had grilled chicken, rice, mixed vegetables, salad, fruit and a gluten...

After an unforgettable trip to Florence, Italy, I decided to capture my memories in a journal and somewhat of a photo album. The point in my journaling was to be able to relive my adventure over and over again, as well as keep it forever and share it with my family....

Somebody pinch me! I genuinely cannot fathom that my class has traveled to fifteen cities–amongst five different countries–and completed a semester’s worth of macroeconomics just within the span of three weeks. I appreciate the retrospection that these blogs bring,...

One of the things you will probably hear most when researching study abroad is that you’ll make lifelong friends. When I applied for my program in the fall, I heard all of the stories but had a hard time believing their authenticity. I’m fairly social back home, but I...

You’ve probably had that one semester in college that just dragged on forever. But there’s light at the end of the tunnel, whether it’s going back to your hometown, traveling with friends and family, or starting a summer internship. I would argue this past semester...
