Best teachers out there 04/02/13
Ciao, After being in the classroom of a small study abroad program, is it easy to see how different it is from the class atmosphere of our home universities. At CIMBA my largest class is 40 students and my smallest class is 18. My smallest class at my home university was 35 and my largest […]

Top of the World 02/05/13
Ciao, This past Sunday two friends and I decided to take on the 1700-meter mount Grappa, which towers in the background of the scenic campus.

Ciao, introduction for a new point of view 01/21/13

So the first thing I have learned since being here is to be nice and respectful to every non-American you meet and say ciao. My name is Christopher Patton I am a […]

A Bittersweet Goodbye 12/05/12
On Saturday afternoon, I had to say goodbye to 75 of my closest friends. Needless to say, they were all tearful goodbyes. I’ve never met so many genuine, inspiring, amazing people in my entire life, and yet I had the opportunity to live, travel, and study with them for three whole months. Words will never […]

Strangers Are Just Family You Have Yet to Come to Know 11/28/12
Salve We started off this adventure three months ago as complete strangers. Just a random group of college students from all over the United States, with seemingly nothing more in common than the desire to study in Italy. However, now I can confidently say that we are family. This was never more prevalent than it was Monday […]
