Vineyards and Midterms in FLR
Our midterm week is much later than it would have been at Drexel, so we have been studying for our exams during week 6 and 7 of classes. This means going to a cafe and cranking out notes on our lectures and creating presentations to show our professors what we’ve learned. We had written tests ...
Fashion as Art
Our Italian professor took us to a jewelry shop this week which was more about art than actual pieces. The artistcreated these for events and each stood out magnificently. For example, one was a beach made out of metals in a ring. The aesthetic brought together in the piece really showed how unique and different ...
Viva la Roma!
Unlike Florence, Rome is a lot bigger and dates even further back in history. This city has the perfect mix of metropolitan buzz and a feeling of a city with a twinge of historical cites that take your breathe away. When I arrived to Rome,I was on my own. I explored the Spanish steps and ...
the Duomo will haunt your dreams
Every week with my Italian class we get to go to a new place on Tuesdays and learn about Florence and the history that it has. This week we went to the public library and saw where local students study and work. In the library there is a little restaurant with the most beautiful view ...

Milan Fashion Week (Part II)
The next morning, we started at the Monumentale, which was a huge cemetery in Milan. Even though cemeteries are usually very eerie, this one was more of a monumental place. All of the graves were huge and held most of the family so you could see the lineage from where it began hundreds of years ...
Milano Fashion Week
MILANO. Let us begin by saying, if you are studying abroad in Florence or anywhere in Italy, it is vital that you visit this city. When we visited, we took a bus and stayed in an airbnb apartment right outside of the city (close to the Duomo). The public transportation is very easily navigable and it ...
Studying Abroad or Eating Abroad?
This first week was our first full week in Florence. We had orientation every day and learned about living in Florence the hard way. By this I mean your true study abroad experience will not begin for a good month into your time in your host country. Every day of these first few weeks were filled ...
Czech it OUT!
Saturday we went to the John Lennon wall and got to see the river in Prague where you are able to see the entire city from the other side. We fed the swans and took pictures with the city and the water.The John Lennon wall was created by students in protest and fun fact: ...
