My first impression when I arrived in Australia was that I was in an exciting place. I landed in Sydney first, and I wanted to see a glimpse of the opera house from the plane. I knew that I would later get the chance to explore it. I have an extended study abroad with...

Upon returning to the United States, I couldn’t believe how much I had seen and done in a short time. I had taken in so much history, immersed myself in different cultures, tried new foods, etc. Coming home was bittersweet. I missed fast food, the comfort of...

Studying abroad has always been an interest of mine during college. I received an email about a scholarship to study abroad in Rome, Italy for a month during the summer. Italy was on my top 3 list of places I wanted to study abroad. This was a perfect opportunity and...

Although the prospect of studying abroad is exciting, preparing for the things you want to do and see on your trip can be beyond daunting. Before leaving for Italy, my TikTok was filled with recommendations for restaurants, leather and jewelry shops, gelaterias and...

Last fall 2023 I heard about a scholarship opportunity to study abroad in Italy. I figured that it was a long shot of me ever winning this scholarship but in life we miss every shot that we don’t take. I had always had dreams of traveling the world and seeing...

When the plane touched down in Rome, I was beyond excited to be in Italy. I felt a bit overwhelmed with how busy it was how different the buildings look, and even the people (how they dress, language barrier, etc.). There were no negative thoughts running through my...

I chose to study abroad for a variety of reasons. I have always wanted to travel the world and experience different cultures, and try new things. It truly fascinates me how people across the world can live so differently than how I am used to in the United States. ...

As soon as we arrived in Prague, I was apprehensive about how the experience was going to be. All of my classmates were business majors, and I am not, so I was unfamiliar with most of them. However, I quickly realized that we were going to have a good time because the...
