WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
I took the Discrete Math class in Prague, and overall it was a good experience. The teacher was really kind and did a really good job explaining difficult concepts despite the swift pace of the class. She always had our best interest in mind and helped us review material we struggled with and was always very helpful.
WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
Take advantage of your free time, explore the city as much as possible, and venture out to other cities. I visited smaller cities that were less popular and ate at places that didn't have an English menu. It forced me to learn some of the language and order food in Czech. Most locals will be happy to see that you're putting in effort to learn their language. Venturing out of the city areas gave me more appreciation of the country as I hiked in Bohemian Switzerland, Czechia's national park, and explored the city's countryside.
