Give me a wig and call me Hermione—I packed a lot into that backpack. I don’t actually know whether I packed enough or too much. But after getting no sleep and facing a 10-hour layover today, I feel a lot of pride. My nerves about flying and traveling have...

Studying abroad with UA was the best thing I’ve ever done—and not just because of the locations, but because of the people. I fell in love with Croatia: cliff jumping into the Adriatic Sea, wandering through Old Town Dubrovnik, and living out my Mamma Mia dreams....

Packing for study abroad? Think smart, stylish, and just a little extra. After a month in Europe, here’s what I wish I had known: Stick to classics: Neutrals and basics go a long way—tailored pants, sleek sneakers, and a jacket that matches everything. Loud logos =...

On my way to Dubrovnik, Croatia, I got unexpectedly stuck in New York City for 48 hours thanks to a delayed flight—and my checked bag was already halfway across the Atlantic. In my carry-on? One pair of shorts and underwear, a toothbrush (no toothpaste), and face...

Before coming abroad, I really did not know what to expect for my trip academically. My particular program is only 3 weeks long in the summer. Given this, I knew the class would have to be drastically different compared to your average class just due to time. However,...
