Here are some major points to consider before deciding on a study abroad program. #CIMBA Campus What are the rooms like? The rooms are small and cozy with everything you […]

There comes a time… 11/01/19

Hello everyone, it’s Hannah and I am back with another blog to talk to you guys about homesickness. Homesickness is something that, until traveling abroad, I had not ever felt. When I moved to Iowa City for college, I was so ready for the next step in my life. I grew up wanting to go […]

Add a Seat! 11/01/19

This has been my favorite CIMBA activity thus far. Since we share the campus with a local boarding school, we are able to meet students and learn some Italian. One of the events that brings us closer is Add a Seat. This event involves one of those Italian students and their family signing up to […]

What a life! 10/16/19

My mornings start differently than most students here at CIMBA because I don’t wake up to eat breakfast at the time it’s provided – 8 am. Instead, I make my way to the local cafe next to campus where you can purchase delicious, handmade pastries when you conveniently “miss” breakfast. As far as classes go, […]

As a UI student, I receive scholarships to study, so I knew I wanted to find a study abroad program that would count those scholarships […]

Ciao! All is well here in Paderno del Grappa, especially because our week of classes has ended and we are soon to depart for our first extended travel weekend. The Cimbians are going to various different places—Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Corfu. I am heading to Florence, and I could not be more […]

Why Studying Abroad is Good for You 05/15/17

As college students, we sure engage in a lot of behavior that is less than ideal for our still developing minds and bodies. We live off more caffeinated drinks than we do hours of sleep, are quick to get pizza and wings delivered to the library as a midnight snack, and drown ourselves in social […]
