As a student on the UA in Oxford faculty-led program, I had so many opportunities to explore other regions of England besides Oxford thanks to the flexible schedule of the program. When planning for which areas I wanted to take trips to, I knew I had to make it to...

At the end of my trip to Ireland, I didn’t want to leave. All of these new things were beginning to feel normal. Instead of being nervous for activities I began to feel exhilarated. Being out of my comfort zone was no longer as stressful as before. Unfortunately, that...

Upon arrival to Dublin, Ireland, I was underwhelmed. It just seemed like any other city. It wasn’t until I started to explore the city and the landmarks that I realized how unique it truly was. The more places we visited, the more I enjoyed them. Our itinerary...

I expected coming back home to be easier than it was. I was not abroad for a whole semester, only 6 weeks, so it seemed it would be easy. But, getting back into my routine proved difficult. I was exhausted at the end of my trip and really, really looking forward to...

Now that I have left Europe and have been hope for a month, I have been able to look back at my experience and appreciate what has happened this summer. If you have the opportunity to go abroad for an internship or classes… do it. It is such an amazing experience and...

My first impressions with Lisbon were that it was much smaller than expected, and that it was a super relaxed city. I knew going-into my program that Lisbon was not as major of a city compared to other European cities, but to me Lisbon felt very small. I found that...

me! at a museum Prior to arriving in Belgium, I was sure my French study was enough to engage in everyday conversation, order food, and make new friends. While I have done all of those things, it was mainly thanks to the bilingualism of my Belgian peers. My...

8 AM: Wake up and do my homework before class. I work better in the mornings, so I always preferred to wake up early and work instead of at night. 10:00 AM: Get ready and walk to campus. My dorm was only about a 10 minute walk from class, so it was not too bad. 10:30...
