A short trip of only 27 days to hit everything in Europe seems nearly impossible, but my group and I fit in as much as possible. We stayed in Berlin and Florence, however, took day trips to Paris, Prague, Dresden, London, Venice, Rome, and Pisa. One of my favorite...

I have always wanted to travel abroad, specifically during my 4 years of college, but once Covid hit, which effected the end of my freshmen year as well as my entire sophomore year, I wasn’t sure I would have the opportunity to. Losing an entire summer of a chance to...

I decided to study abroad to help broaden my horizon and expose myself to other cultures. I chose to participate in a faculty led program studying international financial reporting standards in Berlin, Germany and Florence, Italy. I am currently completing my Masters...

I noticed almost immediately (and by immediately, I mean before the plane even took off from Charlotte) how little consideration I had given to learning Italian prior to my trip. After slinging my stuff through the narrow aisle and locating my way-in-the-back window...

In the first few weeks that I have spent studying abroad, I have read what feels like every blog post and article available on the internet about this topic. In a desperate attempt to find a quick fix for the wide range of emotions that hit me so unexpectedly, I found...

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...

Disclaimer: My study abroad program was a 2 weeklong, UA Faculty Lead program where I went to Germany and Italy. I do not speak German or Italian. I also visited France on my own prior to the program (I do not speak French). So, my experience is different than those...

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...

Looking back on my study abroad trip, one thing that I am so thankful that I continuously tried to do while abroad is trying to emerge myself into each of the different cultures that I visited. This can be difficult at times due to language barriers and unknown...

As a study abroad student, you know that there are many hours of planning and researching to do before leaving home. There are bucket list items that must be checked off, adventures to be taken, and many memories to be made. With little time in each city, you want to...

Even after attending for a couple of weeks in Italy it still feels weird coming home, kinda like going through another cultural change, but I am glad to be home. Once I stepped off my final plane after having a 14-hour flight, having to file a luggage claim, and...

Wow at first I still couldn’t believe that not only did I travel out of the US for the first time, but I’m in Venice Italy. At first, when I arrived I knew the hard part should be over once I find my luggage, but unfortunately, once I found my luggage and...

I’ve been in Rome for just a couple of days to study art and art history and have already experienced so much. We’ve been to the colosseum, the Vatican, and today we went to the Palazzo Barberini where I got to see some Caravaggio paintings! It was a once in a life...

If I was to tell myself one year ago that I would be in my final hours before departing to study abroad in multiple towns in Italy I wouldn’t believe it at first due to all of the covid-related restrictions, costs, and just how big of an opportunity this is. I...
