My time in Italy was packed over 2 weeks, and I was able to experience much of the art, history, and amazing landscapes Italy has! As part of the Art History course, we were expected to write about specific pieces in each city and discuss their significance to the...

Coming back from a trip full of so much amazing art and history, I’d say it was both a bit challenging and refreshing to learn a topic contrasting with my major. With my different experiences as a STEM (biology) major, I learned a lot about creativity and...

Learning outside of the traditional classroom also comes with the challenge of professors designing a course different from the typical format of lectures, homework, and exams. While this is not to say the workload will be any less than an on-campus course, it was...

Choosing a study abroad program was a difficult decision, I wanted to experience something new while fulfilling my interests that I have not been able to pursue while at college. When I came across the Belize study abroad opportunity, I could not have imagined a...

At this point in the trip, our time in Germany was coming to an end. However, I was not looking forward to what was to come. We had planned a 16 hour coach trip from Berlin to Florence, breaking another personal record of mine: the longest I’ve traveled in a day. I...

Growing up near Saint Augustine, Florida, I am no stranger to historical monuments. But North American old and European old are two completely different things. To put it in perspective, Castillo de San Marcos is 350 years old, while the Colosseum is approximately...

My plane was delayed by about an hour on my 9 hour flight to Berlin. I was a bit anxious as it would be the longest plane ride I’ve taken. It would also be the first time I traveled alone other than for school. I was nervous to say the least, but my excitement...

As I was preparing to leave to come back to the US, I couldn’t help but feel sad. On one hand I was happy to have home cooked food instead of eating out and to sleep in a room other than a hotel room. Again my packing cubes came in handy again to get all of my clothes...

The first place I am traveling to is to Paris, France. Paris was awe inspiring. The most fun I had in the city was just walking around and walking into random stores and bakeries. Of course the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Muse d’Orsay were...

I think that many people would give advice to Future students about what to pack, what to wear, and all of the logistics, but my advice is to make the absolute most of your trip. Fit in as much as you possibly can. I went to 7 different countries in 2 ½ weeks, which...

A short trip of only 27 days to hit everything in Europe seems nearly impossible, but my group and I fit in as much as possible. We stayed in Berlin and Florence, however, took day trips to Paris, Prague, Dresden, London, Venice, Rome, and Pisa. One of my favorite...

I have always wanted to travel abroad, specifically during my 4 years of college, but once Covid hit, which effected the end of my freshmen year as well as my entire sophomore year, I wasn’t sure I would have the opportunity to. Losing an entire summer of a chance to...

On my first day back I woke up super early because I was still on Sweden Time. The first thing going through my mind as I do not want to have to make myself breakfast. I just want to be able to go downstairs and get some organic eggs with chicken liver pate and my...
