How to Explore New Cultures Through Food 12/19/16

Timeless: A Reflection on My Time in Europe and What to Take Away From It 01/04/16

These past 4 months: from studying in Italy to traveling to the former East Bloc, to seeing the Refugee Crisis in Hungary first hand. It’s truly been an experience – one that is life-changing and life-enriching. I could go on about how studying abroad was a great decision, but to be frank, BEING abroad is the […]

3 Reasons Why Study Abroad is Worth Your Time (As Proven By Science) 10/23/15

It goes without saying, but study abroad is a huge commitment. It’s not a small decision you can take back at the drop of a hat – you are investing your time, your money, your courage, and your academic dreams on a single (albeit extended) experience. So why on earth would anyone go to […]
