Sewanee: The University of the South

Prague, Czech Republic

Fall 2024

WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
My favorite story to tell people about my time abroad was the time that I met some of my very distant relatives! My great-grandmother had kept in contact with cousins of mine in Poland, and while I was abroad, we arranged to meet each other. It was so special to meet and talk with my family members and learn about their daily lives.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class while I was abroad in Prague was the art and architecture class I took with the CEA CAPA Abroad Center. My professor was knowledgeable, and I learned so much about the history of the Czech Republic and fundamental topics of art history. Having a local professor share the city with us through art and architecture is an experience I would not have had without taking the class.
