Before leaving for France, I heard more rumors and stereotypes about the French than I could count, the majority of which pertained to their customer service industry. While it is very different from that of The U.S., reality does not reflect what I was led to expect,...

Since I knew my plan was to go to college, the one thing I had completely been sure that I was going to do was study abroad. Little 9th grade me in high school would dream about roaming the streets of Rome or walking across the Champs Elysée with a baguette in hand or...

Because I had never been abroad, I decided to pick a program that went to London. Though I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, I figured merely jumping the pond would limit the culture shock yet still be different enough that I would be able to expand my mind and...

In our pre-departure meeting, they went over the stages of culture shock. However, while I was abroad, I don’t really think I truly experienced culture shock. It is worth noting that I was only abroad for 20 days total, so that could have affected my lack of culture...

After a week in Seville, Spain, I could not be happier with my decision to study here! The people are amazing and the sites to see are simply mind-blowing. Most of the time, I feel like I’m in a dream. My walk to class is quite literally a walk in the park, and...

I have been in Colombia for two weeks now. The flights were a little complicated with an overnight layover in Bogota, but I was very happy when I arrived. I am doing the faculty led UA in Colombia program to work on my Spanish. In fact, this is my first time writing...

My words of wisdom to anyone considering a study abroad program are JUST DO IT! There are some choices you make in life that you will never regret and this is one of them. I chose to study art history in Italy in a faculty-led program. It was honestly the best...
