Category: Italy: ISA Rome

Hello! I am ecstatic to be studying abroad in Rome, but also nervous. I have never been to Europe, and now I will be living in it for almost 4 months! Packing has been difficult because I realized that I cannot bring every article of clothing I have, but it is all apart of the…

After a semester abroad, you learn a lot about a new culture and yourself. For me, a big part of studying abroad is also trying to figure out where I would want to live and work in my career. I spent this semester traveling to six new countries Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Switzerland, Hungary, and…

Unfortunately, the time has come.  My four-month Journey has come to an end. The goodbyes were made with friends and just like that I was on to my next adventure. For my friends, they all boarded a long plane back to America. For me, I was lucky to spend two more weeks in Italy with…

Hello! Today is my second day back in the United States and it’s a bit of an adjustment. The first night I slept in my bed I woke up in a bit of a panic because I did not know where I was at first. I’ve been having asleep at 9pm and waking up at…

Words cannot describe how amazing the past four months have been. As I am writing this there are only two more days left before I end my journey in Italy. I remember just boarding my eight hour flight to fly across the world to come here, and how I was filled with nerves and excitement…

The countdown begins till it’s the end of the semester, and everyone flies home. Time has been flying by. It doesn’t feel like November is almost over, and this mostly has to do with this semester being so busy with school and travel. School itself is not hard here, and all professors are very straightforward…

Ciao a tutti, These past days I have been having a rough time and that is why I haven’t posted. We just had fall break and it was a wonderful one but a couple of things happened that dampened it for me. First off we go to Lisbon, where we had an amazing time and…

As a student living in Rome, we are given a week break after midterms allowing students to travel. I was fortunate to go to both Paris and Amsterdam. Both cities were extremely different but so beautiful and filled with culture. In Paris, I was able to visit all of the top attractions like the Eiffel…

After being here for 50 days I do not really have many complaints about Rome. Sure the dog that barks every morning starting at seven in the morning till noon or the lady above is who seems love practicing her tap dancing early in the morning can get annoying, but it is worth it. Luckily…
