Here is a picture of our entire group with Professor Lee in front of the University of Dubrovnik! Our group was just 10 students and I was a little nervous at first to see if everyone would get along. Almost immediately the group became close friends. We explored the...

These past four weeks in Colombia have been surreal. I am a bit disappointed that there are only two weeks left in the program because there is still so much to explore. However, I have enjoyed my time here and have loved exploring the city of Barranquilla. During the...

My time in Spain was defined by a single mantra. I told myself: “I’m not in Spain to be a student. I’m a student so I can be in Spain.” Those two sentences shaped my study abroad experience, guiding daily decisions. Two examples: First,...

With one last hurrah before leaving Denmark, the last week of our program was a nice reprieve from some pretty rigorous coursework. We finally had plenty of time to do a few last excursions into Copenhagen to make memories. As a program with DTU, we had a short trip...

Prior to coming to Sint Maarten, I had major fears about what life would be like on the island for me. Would I make friends with my classmates? Would the locals accept us? Would I adjust well to their way of living? The short answer is yes, but not without some...
