Vienna has been such an amazing experience. Upon being 2 weeks in, we have studied almost every day at the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime, as well as been to many historical buildings around the city. My first impression of Vienna was how beautiful the...

The end of my study abroad program brought many mixed feelings. By the time I was on the last few days of my program, I was somewhat ready to be back home. It was not because I disliked Europe or anything bad like that, but it was just different culturally. Being away...

After finally making it to Europe, I had to quickly learn about the transportation used throughout all of Europe. If you do not know, Europeans use trains to travel quite frequently. This is also how my friends and I traveled throughout our trip when we were not on...

Participating in a study abroad program that is led by UA faculty has a lot of advantages. Not only do I get to know the professors I am taking classes with, but my program also allowed for extensive traveling and sightseeing. We traveled to Italy, Austria, Germany,...

When it came to the last night before everyone headed home, everyone was pretty emotional during our final time together. We had a celebratory dinner, and all wore matching ‘I heart Venezia’ shirts. We even had a marker to sign everyone’s shirt, which I will cherish...
