Madrid has so many things to do, it’s hard to really know what there is to do in Madrid and what is worth doing. In my time here in Madrid, I have compiled a list of museums, parks, markets, stores, and more that I have enjoyed! The museums: The Prado Museum....

My biggest recommendations to make your study abroad experience better Pack really light. I’m not saying don’t go without clothing, but be very prudent about what you pack. I over-packed a few t-shirts that I thought I would wear so much more and I can...

What’s taken me by surprise as I’ve been back home I expected there to be a lot of cultural nuances that took getting used to as I studied abroad in France. What I didn’t expect, though, was to be shocked anew as I re-entered the U.S. There are...

One of the last adventures I took during my time at Oxford was a short weekend trip to Edinburgh with two really cool people (shoutout Ava and Sam). The train ride there was beautiful and I honestly forgot that we were on a train for 6 hours because of the rolling...

Over your study abroad experience, you will likely experience a wide range of emotions towards both your host and home countries. For myself and many of the people I live with abroad, the period leading up to returning home is especially varied from person to person....

Looking back on my time in Spain, I’m so grateful to have gotten this opportunity! I got to experience so many different cities in Spain. Despite this, I could spend another summer in Spain and there would still be new cities to explore! I guess this gives me a good...

Going into studying abroad, it was very important for me to be able to experience as many new cities as possible. My program has built in day trips for every weekend except for two. This has made it especially easy (and so much cheaper) for me to see several Spanish...

It’s June 18th and I just arrived at the airport to start my 12-hour flight home. Unfortunately flying back home adds more time than when I was flying to London. We left the hotel at 6 am sharp so I had to wake up at 5:20 am because I saved my packing for the...

Today is June 14th and on the agenda for today is to go have lunch at clink prison. Here I am going to experience what life inside a prison is like as I will have servers who are inmates, and I will get to ask them questions and get to know them. I have about 4 days...

Growing up I think I wanted to study abroad before I even decided I wanted to go to school. I’ve loved traveling ever since I went to Europe with my grandparents in 2013. While it was such a fun and relaxing experience it was also very educational, and I was so...

As I have returned from Zambia, Africa I am happy to be home but already miss the beauty of the scenery. I am so grateful to be able to travel to a country so far away and learn from the people there. Seeing how the local community rally around each other and support...

5: I saw five plays while in England. A Midsummer’s Night Dream, As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet, The Burnt City, and Six the Musical. Whether just for fun or for class, I had the best time experiencing theater in so many different ways. A Midsummer’s Night Dream was...

Oxford has one of the biggest library systems in the world: the Bodleian Library. After our first day of classes, we went to the Bodleian to get our library cards, go on a small tour, and take an oath before we are allowed to use the library for our studies. The...
