Upon arriving to Italy, I was immediately in awe of the culture there. As I rode in a taxi to head over to my host mom’s house, I was captivated by the architecture and scenery that I drove past. The Renaissance building styles were like nothing I had ever seen...

One of the most important parts about this study abroad program is being able to stay on track with schoolwork, while also making sure have as much fun as you can. This was my first time outside the US, so everything was so new and exciting to see. If you don’t...

While this program planned for us to only travel between the Venice and Trento areas, I was able to venture to many other areas of Italy with relative ease. Make sure to talk to your faculty mentor about the best ways of travelling, but definitely make sure to visit...

Studying abroad can be very similar to most other vacation trips, however there are a couple of major differences. With hindsight, it is pretty easy to think of things that I would have done differently in preparing for this month-long study abroad trip. The main...

These past four weeks in Colombia have been surreal. I am a bit disappointed that there are only two weeks left in the program because there is still so much to explore. However, I have enjoyed my time here and have loved exploring the city of Barranquilla. During the...

This past weekend, a group of 10 of us got to leave Trento, Italy (our home base for my UA Study Abroad trip, Engineering in Italy) and visit any place in Italy. We chose to make a 4-day trip, spending 2 days in Florence and 2 days in the Cinque Terre region of Italy....

With one last hurrah before leaving Denmark, the last week of our program was a nice reprieve from some pretty rigorous coursework. We finally had plenty of time to do a few last excursions into Copenhagen to make memories. As a program with DTU, we had a short trip...

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...

Upon return to the US, the past 3 weeks flew by in the snap of a finger. I was very sad to have to say goodbye to all the Locals that I became close with. Reflecting back on the experience it was one of the best trips I have ever taken. There was non-stop...
