From walking along the arno and historic streets of Florence, Italy to the icey hills of the URI campus, it is fair to say the transition is tough. The first week of classes is always overwhelming. Professors lay down the law and ease into the swing of things. My question, is how do you ease into 15 pg papers and endless readings when your assignment was to explore europe for four months. In this blog I will discuss my study abroad experience.

Decisions, Decisions
Deciding to study abroad is a big step in what I consider the right direction. The process can be long and overwhelming to many but the end result is beyond well worth it. It starts off with the idea, which lead to the research. A good way to research your options are study abroad fairs. Although I had a program in mind, I attended these fairs to look at all my options. After attending, your desire is more obvious. If your wondering where to go and what program to go with, definitely attend these fairs and get your options laid out for you. Once the idea is floating around up there, jump on it! It is important to go through all your options, discuss them with your family and friends, and recognize the potential pro's and con's of each. I personally studied with AIFS, the American Institute for Foreign Study and suggest looking into it if you are interested in studying abroad!
