HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
One of the most meaningful aspects of my experience was exploring Prague’s local culture. My friends and I made a point to try various restaurants that served traditional Czech cuisine, like fried cheese, goulash, and bread dumplings, which gave us a deeper appreciation for the local flavors. We also embraced local life by spending time at beer gardens to watch Euros matches, the crowd’s passion was palpable in every Czech game we watched, making it a very memorable experience. Navigating the city daily on the tram and metro, I even picked up phrases like "stop, the doors are closing" (or something like that) which added to my sense of immersion in Prague's everyday life.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
Discrete Math. I really liked the professor we had. Michaela, our teacher, was really passionate about what she was teaching, and we could all tell. She would always gladly answer any questions we had, even if they were out of the scope of the class and just personal curiosity. Also, this class was smaller than the other one I took. We were only 8 people in that class, so we all got close to each other.
