Oyunbileg Bazar, ’25, is a Psychology major studying at the FIE London this Summer 2023. My initial reaction when I told my college friends about my choice for studying abroad was, “We’re already studying abroad!” Yes, it’s true, but being ...
Presence is far more rewarding than productivity. And life in Europe is the perfect example for it. Europe has a lot to offer. Apart from the beautiful scenery, delicious food, affordable travel and amazing architecture, the culture and the people ...
Hong Kong is an incredibly unique mix of Western and Eastern cultures. Even the landscape is unreal: tall, skinny skyscrapers, both new and old, are built right into these huge and beautiful mountains. It’s almost futuristic. Although it’s a very ...
Please note that this is a retired Drexel study abroad program. To learn more about available programs, contact Drexel Global studyabroad@drexel.edu. I’m sitting on a train to Amsterdam, writing this week’s vlog. The weather is now very nice, sunny but still ...
Hong Kong is known for its hikes because there are very tall hills and peaks with amazing views. The two hikes I have been on while in Hong Kong are Victoria Peak and Sunset Peak. Victoria Peak is a well-known peak for tourists because it is the highest hill on Hong Kong Island. There are ...
Ocean Park is one of the most well-known amusement parks in Hong Kong. My friends and I took the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) from our dorm halls to Ocean Park, where the trains stopped in front of the park. We decided to go on a weekday because it is very crowded, and this is a ...
With my study abroad term quickly coming to an end, I’ve made up a list of places I wanted to re-visit in England. Since Thanksgiving isn’t celebrated in England, many cities started setting up their Christmas decorations and displays in mid-November. My flatmates helped me go through the towns I had visited since September and ...
Over the weekend, my friend and I wanted to stand up paddle boarding for the first time in Hong Kong. I was skeptical about doing it because we did not know how to swim, but we did not want that to hold us back. After doing extensive research on different beaches that have to stand ...
It is that time of year where festivities begin along with the cold weather. The bright sun which isn’t warm, the cold breeze hitting your face and hands, so you always want to put your hands in your pocket, stay in the warmth indoors sipping hot chocolate enjoying the views outdoors, right? Oh, how I ...
With the European Union allowing travel between countries and Drexel announcing that we are allowed to travel to “green zone” countries, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Greece, which I will forever call ‘The Land of Hummus and Falafel’! I ate all of the garbanzo beans and fava beans that I possibly could over ...
Use a large durable backpack I have had a large Swiss backpack since I started high school and it is the best backpack I have owned. It has held up really well and fits so much inside it. I highly recommend getting one or something similar and using it for all of your trips where ...
I have been using a bunch of different apps during my time abroad, some of which I hadn’t heard of before getting here and some of which I didn’t realize how crucial they would be. Below is an overview of 8 apps that I highly recommend you download before leaving for your trip. While I ...
My roommate Erin’s dad thought that it would be a waste to fly to Copenhagen for the weekend just to fly right back to Rome. He suggested that we go to Berlin. We booked our flights just days before we left for Copenhagen and packing was even harder than expected because now we were packing ...
My roommate Ruby has family in Copenhagen and they were away for the weekend and invited us to stay in their apartment. We had originally planned on spending the weekend in Austria but we hadn’t yet booked transportation or accommodations so we somewhat spontaneously decided to go to Copenhagen. A few days later, we booked ...
