My classes) at the Institut de Touraine are more like a combination of elementary/high school and college than I thought they would be, mostly because I have the same classroom and professor all day. Not every day is the same length, and there are a lot of discussions...

It has been almost a week since I arrived in Croatia and the things we have learned and experienced thus far have been immaculate. There are many things that I have learned not only in regards to the economy, as my program is studing Intermediate Macroeconomics,...

I have officially been abroad for a week! We have done so many fun and exciting things during the week I have been here, in London. Even with being so busy and doing so many exciting things, the feeling of missing home and familiarity are inevitable. Three days ago,...

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...

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...
