Though I am on the London Global Business Institute Program, England is not the only place in Europe I have been able to visit this semester. Many people in my Program made London their home base while traveling across the continent almost every weekend. I chose to stay in London a lot more than I…

Internship Abroad
The internship opportunity offered to me was an excellent way for me to expand my network and gain experience in a field that I was considering. My internship for this semester is at an Australian company called APG & Co. The main brand runs three sub brands for the fashion brands Sportscraft, Saba, and Jag….
My Most Important Internship Lesson
Almost three months ago to the day, I ventured outside of my house to begin my internship. As I was walking down the street toward the tube station, I was a little lost in my own thoughts and anxious to meet the people I would be working with for my time here. I was so…

My four months abroad have opened my eyes to different cultures and broadened my understanding of the world we live in. Before this study abroad…
Springfest in Munich!
This past weekend, I was finally able to visit one of my favorite German cities, Munich. Located in the southern most part of Germany, it is pretty culturally different than most other places in the country. There is a very strong sense of pride among the people and it showed from the second I entered…
The Return Trip Home: Adjustment
Phase 1: Shock No. It can’t be… it’s just not happening. I thought I got here yesterday… where did the time go? Honestly, I spent the last two weeks of my semester in denial that it was coming to an end. There’s really nothing that compares to spending four months studying abroad in a place…
