Living on a Budget
We all go into studying abroad having some knowledge that it will be expensive. It can be difficult to manage how much you are spending in USD in a different currency. It is also inevitable to avoid certain expenses, such as rent, groceries, and school books. However, there are ways to properly budget and save ...

Gelato Guide

When in Rome!
This weekend was my opportunity to fulfill all my Lizzie McGuire dreams. Our school had scheduled a weekend trip to Rome where we left from Florence at 6:30 am Saturday morning and returned by 7:30 pm on Sunday night. Though in the last two days I have not slept and have walked more than my ...
