I first decided, about a year ago, that I was going to commit to making studying abroad a reality. I’ve been interested in going abroad for much longer but didn’t feel that It was possible financially. I eventually reached a point where I was determined to...

Hi! My name is Louise Knight and I am an upcoming senior at UA. Similar to many people my age, I tried to go abroad the past two summers, with both possibilities being cancelled. So, as I was approaching my last summer as a student here, I knew this was my last chance...

So many cats!! This one is from Mykonos 🙂 It was my freshman year when I decided to commit to a summer study abroad program in Italy. It had always been my dream to study abroad and I eventually wanted to do a full year abroad as well, but wanted to test the waters...

One of the most important parts of packing for an overseas outing (especially a lengthy abroad experience like my university-sanctioned foray into Denmark) is hashing out the wardrobe situation. Seasoned travelers advise that one should dress as the locals do—but what...

I have been in London for a few weeks now and am enjoying it immensely! I thought I might share some things I wish I knew before coming, namely how to prepare for a long, international trip. Pre-departure: Firstly, getting all your ducks in a row as early as...

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...

Getting Ready for Take Off When going abroad, whether for the first time or the fifteenth, we all have ideas in mind of what to do in advance. Buy luggage, pack extra socks, maybe study a few essential words in a language- all good things! What stands out to me most,...

My name is Bailee and I am a junior (3 credits away from being a senior) majoring in psychology and minoring in women’s studies and African American studies. Since elementary school, I knew I wanted to participate in a study abroad program in college. The perfect...

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...

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...

Since I knew my plan was to go to college, the one thing I had completely been sure that I was going to do was study abroad. Little 9th grade me in high school would dream about roaming the streets of Rome or walking across the Champs Elysée with a baguette in hand or...
