Today is December 19, 2023, and it’s my last day living in Athens, Greece. My home for the last 4 months has left me nothing short of amazed, and I’ve loved (almost) every second of my time here. I feel just as familiar with this beautiful city as I do...

I’ve been living in Athens, Greece for almost 10 weeks now, and as the days tick down, I’m both dreading leaving this adventure, and excited to get home and start the next one. Things have gotten progressively more difficult in my time here, balancing...

One of my favorite parts about studying abroad is being able to travel to other places easily. I have traveled almost every weekend since studying in Barcelona. Since I also do an internship here, I have to be back for work on Monday morning which makes my weekends...

The day is finally here that I’m leaving and I still can’t believe it! I have been planning for this trip for about a year now so to see it finally happening is very surreal. I am going on a faculty-led trip in Greece for 3 weeks where we will start in Athens and...

This summer I chose to study abroad because I truly believe it is the best and most unique way to not only learn information inside a classroom but gain cultural experience as well. Last summer I studied abroad in France for almost 6 weeks in a language intensive...
