I can confidently say that I had (and still have) a great first impression of Colombia. Everyone was warning me about how hot Colombia is during the summer, but as a native of Mobile, Alabama, heat is nothing new to me. The humidity was a little stronger than...

Now that I’m back home, I have such a great perspective for the rest of my summer and the rest of my college experience. I have learned so much over the past few weeks, both academically and socially. I struggled with a lot of homesickness during my trip, but in...

Take this advice to heart my friends: if you plan to go abroad for an entire semester maybe do it in the fall so you have the summer to get ready without the nightmare of balancing finals. While I’m frantically trying to finish final projects and studying for...

Tips, Reflection, and things I wish I knew!

The first thing I noticed after leaving the airport in Australia was that they drive on the left side of the road, and the drivers are on the right side of the car. Very bizarre from an American. I was exhausted when I first arrived, so I took a long nap, ate, and...

I was a little relieved to be home. 3.5 weeks of non-stop travel and flights and bus rides and activities is a lot, even though it was all so fun and interesting. I was excited to see my parents, although I’ve gone longer without seeing them. I miss the people I...

Studying abroad can be an incredibly enriching experience, offering the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture, make lifelong friends, and gain a deeper understanding of the world around you. I knew this was an experience I wanted to have, so I decided to...

This will be my final post, and though I didn’t intend for it to arrive so late, I’m very happy that I am reflecting on my experience now after a semester back at Alabama. I think when I first went to Spain to study abroad over the summer, I saw the experience ending...

This past weekend two of the other members of the UA in Oxford cohort and myself had the opportunity to spend the weekend in Rome, Italy. A weekend in Rome has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl as I have extended family on my mother’s side that...

I can still remember the bus ride to the airport on the day we departed Barcelona. I couldn’t peel my eyes away from the window the whole time. I was trying to memorize every detail of the city. My first independent adventure away from my hometown and it was in a...
