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...

One of the things that I learned to appreciate the most during my time living in Prague was having such easy access to public transportation, especially the trams, to help get around the city. At first, it was strange seeing trams filling the streets and hard to get...

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...
