I’ve been back in the US for almost two weeks now, and I miss Lancaster so much! My experience at Lancaster University (UK) was truly amazing. Lancaster University sits outside the city of Lancaster, a beautiful historical city within the Lake District. I lived with all British flatmates which allowed me to immerse myself in…
QMUL Final Blog Prompt
Recently I returned home from my study abroad program at the Queen Mary University of London and am happy to be home and relax during holiday time. My experience in London was great, I enjoyed it a lot and wanted to stay there longer. The city is really huge and 3 months were not enough…
Oviedo, Spain
One thing I definitely had to adjust to while studying abroad in Spain was how a normal day was scheduled. Breakfast was around the same time as what I was used to, but lunch was later and more time was spent eating, and then there was a period of time set aside for siesta. I…
UK CAPA: Final Blog Post

An aspect of Italian culture that I had to adjust to was the heavy reliance on public transportation and walking. Before this semester, I had never used public transportation. I am from Texas, so I am very used to driving everywhere, since everything is so spread out. In Rome especially, but many other cities in…

An aspect of Moroccan culture that I had to adjust to was the clothes I was able to wear. In Morocco, it is customary for women to have most of their body covered by clothing. For most, this looked like long pants and long sleeve shirts. This was something I had to adapt to because…

One aspect of Italian culture that I had to adjust to was how they view time. In Italy, things tend to move at a slower pace in all aspects of life. For example, the bus system is not the most reliable. Many of the buses tended to show up later than the scheduled time, or…
