Hello all! I’ve been studying in Denmark for about a month now, and while I’ve been here for only a short time, it feels like it’s been a year. With this post, I’ll take you through a typical day in the life of a student studying abroad in...

An incredible discovery of mine on our research trip was that Belizeans are some of the kindest people to come across. I met and spent an extended amount of time with different host families and guides in the ecotourism industry. At our first location, we were housed...

Most of our conservation research trip in Belize was spent on the water near marine reserves. However, we were able to spend a few days on the mainland during our second week abroad. On this particular day, we traveled to the village of San Pedro Columbia and worked...

My study abroad experience in Italy was drawing to a close and it was time for me to depart to my second study abroad trip. I would be flying across the continent to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, then after just two weeks there I would be departing for Copenhagen,...

The days leading up to my departure, I regretted everything. I was so excited when the concept of studying abroad was just an idea, but when it started to become real, I was filled with terror. I have never been across the world before, let alone by myself, so...

My study abroad program is called “Following Shakespeare Through Italy”. For the second half of our trip, we visited Ravenna, Florence, and Rome. I also used my free days to visit Bologna, Pisa, Cinque Terre, and Pompeii! Here are a few highlights from each city!...

From Japan to Iceland, I’ve visited many countries, but none were as special as studying abroad in Norway. From meeting my fellow travelers on the first day I knew this was going to be a special journey. Every other time I’ve traveled internationally I...

To say leaving Norway was difficult would be an understatement. From the moment I stepped off the plane, I was entranced by everything from the street vendors to the ungodly amounts of salami that seemed to be a part of every meal. Within the first couple of days, it...

As this is my first time travelling abroad, just the preparing and packing for this trip was pretty overwhelming. I spent hours researching Copenhagen, places to go, even the route I’d need to take to get from where we were staying, Basecamp, to the university for...

About half-way through my four-week program, I realized that I definitely had the wrong idea in my head about studying abroad. I knew that I was taking a pretty intense engineering lab class and that it would require a lot of work, but in the back of my mind, I...

I’ve now been back in the United States for just over two weeks. It’s definitely felt like a lot longer. The culture change has been an adjustment. In Poland, it’s custom to say ‘do widzenia’ (goodbye/see you later) when you leave any...

My journey with UA Abroad to the beautiful country of Colombia was nothing short of amazing. The coastal city of Barranquilla was rich with culture and many interesting places to explore. Our ventures to the cities of Cartagena and Santa Marta were short lived, but...

Upon arriving to Italy, I was immediately in awe of the culture there. As I rode in a taxi to head over to my host mom’s house, I was captivated by the architecture and scenery that I drove past. The Renaissance building styles were like nothing I had ever seen...

One of the most important parts about this study abroad program is being able to stay on track with schoolwork, while also making sure have as much fun as you can. This was my first time outside the US, so everything was so new and exciting to see. If you don’t...
