A Peek Into Our First Gourmet Dinner 02/10/14
Our meal started around 9pm, but the preparation began hours earlier. We had been hearing about the infamous Gourmet Dinners since our first day on campus. Some of us have actually been aware of these dinners even before we arrived in Italy, because of students who have gone through the program in the past. A […]

Florence, Italy 02/04/14
Last weekend we all went on a bus to Florence, which is only about a 3-hour drive from Paderno. We got there at about 9pm on Friday and dropped our bags at our hostel, which was right next to the Duomo. Florence was a lot livelier at night than Venice was. We walked around the […]

An Overview of Campus Life and Dinner with a Local Italian Family! 02/03/14
Things are finally beginning to settle down around campus – let me rephrase that – a somewhat consistent schedule is beginning to emerge. The first three weeks at CIMBA were the most engaging and eye-opening weeks I have experienced. I think it is impossible to convey the exact feelings during these three weeks without experiencing […]

A Village and A City 02/03/14
It’s hard to believe I’ve only been in Paderno for two and a half weeks. I’ve made so many good friends and met so many genuine people. The past few weeks have been packed with orientations, programs, and classes. However, we do get some free time on the weekends and we definitely take advantage of […]

A Life Changing Week 01/29/14
Its funny. They say that the second rep of an athlete’s exercise set is his strongest rep. Well, I feel my second week of CIMBA has been and will be the strongest week in terms of my personal growth via study abroad. This week I successfully completed LIFE and overcame the challenge of planning my […]

Bassano, Florence, and more! 01/28/14
The first few weeks here at CIMBA have been both relaxing and busy. There have been many days where I have been exhausted from all the things we were doing, but other days where I feel like I have a lot of time to myself. The first weekend here, we took a bus to Bassano […]

A Wet Weekend in Venice 01/24/14
My first week of school at CIMBA was so exhausting/busy/exciting. I had my first classes (my teachers are all amazing!) and some business seminars to go along with it. After having a rough schedule all week (I even had class on Saturday) a group of us decided to go spend one night in Venice. Since […]

London to Venice 01/24/14
After a long 8-hour flight, my first taste of airplane food, and a lot of sleep deprivation, I finally made it to London! My boyfriend Scott, his mom and sister and I got to London January 7th. We landed in London Wednesday afternoon and took a nice long nap to try and cure our jetlag. […]

Adjusting to Study Abroad and the Perks of Befriending Locals 01/24/14
Wow what a first week! It seems that this first week was an initial sprint before the marathon. Its hard to believe that I met my friends less than one week ago, but the dense schedule of the first week brought us together quickly. Check-in day offered a chance to catch-up on jet lag for […]
