Ciao, sono Hannah. 12/11/19

How to Maximize your Time at CIMBA 06/20/17

Managing time: Now managing time might seem like something easy but when you are abroad in another country it’s a lot different than being at home. One big difference is that when you arrive in Italy there is a large time difference, 6 hours for me and 7 hours for many others. When arriving on […]

As finals week is approaching and the end of the semester is coming to a close, I am looking back on my experience and wishing I packed a few things! The way of life in Italy was a huge shock when I first got here. I didn’t know the language and didn’t really understand the […]

The Study Part of Study Abroad 11/28/16

Survival Italian: Language Basics You Should Know Before Your Trip Abroad 11/30/15

The first thing a lot of people asked me when I told them that I would be spending a semester in Italy was, “Do you speak any Italian?” In fact, I didn’t know any Italian before coming to Italy. However, as soon as I arrived, I wished I had put at least a little bit […]

Exploring Business Culture in Italy: A Journey of Tradition, Passion, and Coffee 05/27/15

There is an encompassing cultivation of desires and hard work all driven by a term that every Italian business is, well, passionate about. On the first day of class my Entrepreneurial Strategy teacher, who is from Italy, adamantly explained to […]
