How My Study Abroad Changed My View of My Academic Path
Before I got to study abroad, I was the most persnickety student I knew. The CCI building was my morning, afternoon, and evening; the library during finals week was my haven, and devotion like that came with good grades, but at the expense of my social life and basically any frivolities that a college student deserves. Very ...
Learning about Vulnerable Populations

The “Study” in Study Abroad
Something I haven’t written about since coming here is my classes and what it is like to actually study in another country.
