Arrival day was stressful. Working on roughly one hour of sleep on a seven-hour plane ride from Boston to London was not helping with the anxiety of the first day. When my plane finally arrived, I was so excited to be where I’d dreamed of since starting the application process. The initial feeling was excitement…
Am I a Londoner yet?
Upon arriving in London, we were exposed to many different experiences…all starting with CAPA’s orientation week. This meant eagerly anticipating what may come of our internships (for those who elected to do one), learning to navigate the tube (I’d say I’m very much still learning, but doing much better now), meeting our professors and classmates,…
Pre-departure
Since this is my first time ever studying abroad, there are a lot of things I am looking forward to. Studying abroad was something I never thought I would have the opportunity to do. It was also something I never thought I would actually do in college. Traveling to Italy is no challenge, however living…
CAPA London – Pre-Departure
by ESEIDEN When I came to Rollins I always knew I wanted to study abroad and had my heart set on London. Though at times I would change my mind on where to study abroad, I kept coming back to London as I love the hustle and bustle of the city as well as all…
Rome, I’ll see you tomorrow!

Pre Departure Blog Post- Kansai Gaidai
Traveling to Japan has always been a dream of mine and with going there being right around the corner life just doesn’t feel real. I am sure I will change a lot over the next six months, though how much I cannot tell you. My mind is going to open up to so much learning…
A Shift in Perspective
Throughout my time at Rollins, my experience as a college student has always felt quite different from that of my fellow peers. I still stand by the decision my parents and I jointly made to have me commute to school as opposed to paying an extra $7,000 per semester, but I will admit that it…
London Calling
I’ve been back in Florida for a week and a half now. I’m still adjusting to the glaring hot sun and summer weather in the winter. I miss the friends I made in London the most. Being Venezuelan-American and from South Florida, I was able to maintain these identities abroad. When it was 60/70 degrees…
To the Eternal City
As a senior in high school trying to figure out where I would go to college, I never saw Rollins as an option. Being a low income, Latina woman, I am already a minority in this society, and even more so at a school with demographics like that of Rollins. So, I never even considered…
Rome – Almost there!
As I am finishing packing to leave for Rome, I am starting to get really excited. It is going to be a whole new experience and in a new place that I have never been before! I personally like to step out of my comfort zone whenever I can, and I am feeling like I…
