What are you doing this summer?
I’m so excited studying abroad in Italy for a month! Then I’m hoping to relax and spend time with my family and friends when I get back.
What are you looking forward to?
This is my first experience out of the country, so I’m looking forward to that for starters! It’s also always been a dream of mine to go to Italy. I’m hoping to see as much as I can!
Why this location?
It’s always been a dream of mine to go to Italy! I’m fascinated by the history and art that’s there.
Is this the only place you’ve been abroad?
Yes.
What are you hoping to get out of this?
I’m hoping to meet new people, see and experience more of the world, and just enjoy it while I can. I don’t want to set crazy expectations for my time studying abroad, so I’m aiming to enjoy the moments there.
Have you done research on this place?
I’ve done as much as I can!
How will you prepare for the trip?
I’ve been meeting with the study abroad office for all the information I need. They’ve given me so many great resources and advice! I’ve also looked up things I should know. I have some friends who went to the same school when they went abroad and they’ve been awesome and answered every questioned I asked them.
How do you think you feel when you get back?
I have no idea! I just hope I’ll come back more educated about the world.
