This is it.  My one and only chance to do a semester abroad has finally come to an end.  London has been so good to me.  It threw me several curveballs, which have helped me become a stronger person.  I have met so many amazing people, some at Pitt, and some in other states.  London…

With a short couple weeks left, I can’t help but be excited to return home.  Though I wish I could stay, I have to go back to Oakland and revisit Cathy, of course!  If I were to graduate and have the opportunity to live here, that would be another story.  Theoretically I don’t think that…

Going to a university is challenging enough in itself, let alone being in a foreign country!  Coming to London was extremely scary because I knew that I didn’t know anyone coming on the trip.  The biggest challenge that I faced was finding a friend group to do all of my travelling with.  It’s not always…

My expectations have been nothing close to what I’ve experienced so far while abroad.  My flat isn’t anything like how I imagined it, CAPA is much smaller than I thought, and I never expected I would make friends that would want to go to Spain.  I really thought the class size would be much bigger…

I still can’t believe I’ve been here in this beautiful place for over a month already!  It’s so crazy to think that in about 2 months I’ll be making my way back home to Pittsburgh!  I’m trying my best to make the most of my time here.  The past two weekends I have traveled around…

Coming to London has hands down been the best thing I’ve decided to do so far in my life.  It is such a life changing experience, and I would easily suggest anyone to give it a try, even if it’s just a short program. I’m already almost a month in, which is absolutely crazy!  I…

Greetings from the United Kingdom!  As you could guess, I’ve arrived in London and am just about done getting settled in.  So far, things have been quite the challenge.  Getting to our flat from the airport was a challenge because the tubes don’t always have lifts at the end, so I had to carry my…

Hi!  My name is Sara Salley and I am a sophomore Marketing major.  I am also intending to pursue certificates in International Business and Related Concentration in European Studies.  I have just recently decided that I wanted to be a Marketing major, after years of having no idea what I wanted to do with my…
