Thanks for the Memories Italia: Reflections on a Semester Abroad 01/03/17

How to Explore New Cultures Through Food 12/19/16
I am a foodie, I’ll be the first to admit it. I love food. My Pinterest board is chalk full of new recipes I want to try or recipes I love. So it only makes sense that one of the things I was most excited for when I decided to study away was the opportunity […]

Crunch Time: Studying for Finals during Study Abroad 12/13/16
Ciao, I can’t believe it’s the middle of my last week here. My incredible journey here at CIMBA is coming to a close. But, there’s one thing in the way: finals. Every class has a final at CIMBA. They are not cumulative (thank goodness!) but that’s what your last week consists of. I know, […]

Ciao, I figured since the last travel weekend just ended, a good topic would be going outside your comfort zone more than just studying abroad itself, but what you do while you’re here. Because if hopping on that plane from the states is further outside your comfort zone as you want to get, then the whole study abroad […]
