WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
I always tell people about how I was able to grow as a person abroad. Living in a place I had never even visited truly forces you to put yourself out there and makes you see the world from a different perspective. You get to experience what life is like for so many people and appreciate this new culture you are being surrounded by. While it was a little difficult not being able to speak Italian, it forced me to learn new words and phrases and learn to adapt to something new.

 

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class was Art and Archaeology of Ancient Rome. For this class, we spent most days visiting museums and historical sights. I was able to learn so much more about Rome, where I had the privilege of studying, and even see places I wouldn't have known about otherwise. The professor for that class was also amazing. She was very knowledgeable about every place we went to and very kind.
