Cinque Terre: even more beautiful than the pictures. 10/10/14
The first two weeks in Italy have gone by so quickly! After getting settled in, going through numerous orientations, the LIFE program, the daVinci Challenge, and the beginning of classes… we finally had some time to relax. Here’s a few pictures from the Da Vinci Challenge. We climbed a 12 foot wall, crept through a “spider’s” web, […]

"Fourence" 10/08/14
Have you ever felt like you can’t be actually where you are? As if you’re dreaming and someone is going to wake you up? Well, welcome to Florence. It’s hard for me to believe the historical significance that this place has had on the world. Not to mention I was there. That’s the sort of […]

That Balancing Act 10/03/14

Now you're speaking my language! 09/21/14
Salve! (Hello!) For those of you who have traveled abroad, you’ll probably be able to relate to this. Potentially the most frightening part of a travel experience is encountering and working around a language barrier.

Waking up in Italy. 09/17/14
It’s amazing to finally be in Italy and to be experiencing first-hand how beautiful this campus truly is. Luckily when we finally arrived to campus, the majority of students were just as tired as I was. I suppose this is the only time that jet-lag has actually worked out in my favor. Despite the whole […]

Venice: a good time to sleep? 09/16/14
I have finally arrived to this beautiful campus! After some long plane rides I’ve made it. Unfortunately I have been fighting to stay awake with the six hour difference. I took British Airways from Philadelphia to London and London to Venice. (Well technically Finnair for the first flight- owned by BA). I had a really […]
