  • Being back in Athens, it felt like my time in Italy flew in the blink of an eye. Regardless, I have so many amazing memories from my trip that made my summer an unforgettable one. From the small things like a nice dinner over a sunset to big memories like seeing the Sistine chapel at night,…

  • Following our arrival into Rome, the other students and I boarded a bus to the city of Cortona. It wasn’t until we could see a city at the top of a huge hill that I had an idea of what the city looked like. As our bus maneuvered up the tight winding roads, we got closer…

  • How was Romania?!

    Since returning home to Atlanta, GA from Romania, I’ve found it very difficult to adequately describe my experience abroad. If asked a specific question about something that I did or saw, I can go on and on, but when someone asks, “How was Romania?!” I am almost at a loss for words. I did so…

  •   Life as a ENSAT student has been incredible. Most mornings involve waking up early to take the metro to the school for a French lesson. This is followed by a coffee break at the Maison des Etudiants (basically a student lounge area with an amazing and cheap coffee bar). We have our first lecture…

  • Incredinburgh!

    Out of the five countries we visited over the past three weeks, Scotland was my favorite. The city of Edinburgh had an atmosphere that reminded me much of Athens, probably why I like it so much. Everywhere you looked in the city was something beautiful. Just from our hotel could be seen a castle, the…

  • Going from Point A to Point B My study abroad experience has come with the challenge of navigating many cities. Some of the cities I encountered a language barrier while others I did not, but I have learned that a language barrier is not a reason to avoid public transportation. This trip has shown me…

  • Part of the work we did in Romania was working with Dannon dairy farms. The visits were very similar to each other, as well as my thoughts. I was sharing these with a fellow student at the first farm. She was telling me that she realizes why America is seen as the saving grace for…
