An unforgettable experience!!

Studying abroad in Verona, Italy for a semester was the best decision I ever made. This experience taught me how to embrace independence, adaptability, and self-confidence. It was an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and experience life in a new way. I discovered new foods, languages, and customs that can inspire my own personal growth. I was able to travel to 13 new countries during my time abroad and I made so many lifelong friendships. I was nervous to go abroad, but I am so glad that I did because it helped me reveal strengths I didn't know I had. I now feel more self-assured and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in my future.

How Studying Abroad Shaped My Perspective

Studying abroad in Verona, Italy, was a life-changing experience. From the moment I arrived, Verona became my new home, filled with unforgettable moments and opportunities for growth. Although the living conditions weren't ideal (our apartment was less than impressive, with brown water and very rude staff), my study abroad director was incredibly supportive. She listened to our concerns and worked hard to ensure better accommodations for future students. Despite these challenges, I learned so much from the experience. Academically, Verona and the surrounding areas offered an incredibly hands-on approach to learning. Instead of sitting in a classroom all day, we often traveled to historical sites, museums, and cultural landmarks. It felt like the world itself was our classroom, and I learned more about art, history, and culture than I ever could have from textbooks. One of the most enriching parts of the semester was traveling across Europe. I visited 13 countries and over 30 cities—from the romantic canals of Venice to the ancient ruins of Rome, from the beaches of Sicily to the beautiful landscapes of Lake Garda. Each trip broadened my perspective and made me realize how diverse and unique each culture is. I also met incredible people from around the world who became lifelong friends. These are friendships I know will last far beyond our time abroad. I’ve already made plans to reunite with some of them in the future, which is something I never imagined when I first arrived in Italy. The travel opportunities were endless, and every weekend was a new adventure. From bustling cities like London, Brussels, and Munich to quieter, scenic places like Mallorca and Lake Garda, I gained a deep appreciation for the beauty and variety Europe offers. I’ll never forget the time I spent hiking in Palermo or my solo trip to Lake Garda—two of the most picturesque places I’ve ever seen. Living abroad also opened my eyes to different ways of life. I’ve become more confident, outgoing, and open-minded. It’s amazing how much I grew as a person during this semester. I’ve learned to navigate unfamiliar places, communicate in new ways, and appreciate different cultures and traditions. It has inspired me to think about my future differently and explore the possibility of living abroad after graduation. Reflecting on my experience, I’m so glad I took the leap. Initially, I was nervous and unsure, but looking back, I realize how much this journey has shaped me. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me realize that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined. I came back with a renewed sense of self-confidence and a clearer sense of what I want to do after college. If you're considering studying abroad, I wholeheartedly encourage you to go. It’s an experience that will change your life in ways you can’t even predict. Even though I’m back home now, I miss Italy every day. I’ve learned that the world is bigger than I ever thought, and there’s so much more to explore. Studying abroad isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about discovering new parts of yourself. You won’t regret it.
