If I am Writing This, It’s Too Late

In Florence, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Farewells by Kathryn JonesMay 14, 2015Leave a Comment

If I am writing this, that means it is over. My four months in Florence are reaching its end. My favorite pen that I have been using all semester has died. And I will be back in the United States and leave back the sense of nonchalance I acquired here. I work with Global Liberal Studies freshmen who have been …

Final Sentiments

In Florence, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Farewells by Drew KohlMay 13, 2015Leave a Comment

Every hour I wish-wash between being excited/ready to go home and then feeling sad that I am walking through Florence for the last time. I am conflicted because I really must see my dogs, but I also feel that I am not yet finished in my new city. It is hard to leave a place that you love when you …

Life is Good, My Friends

In Florence, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Bliss by Kathryn JonesMay 13, 2015Leave a Comment

“Life is good, my friends. Nothing gets better than this.” Those are the words of Franco, the waiter. Zack came to this restaurant with his parents once. But already, he and Franco seem like they have known each other forever. That Italian sense of instant camaraderie with strangers, I am going to miss that. Zack, Lauren, and I just climbed …

Here is my oddly specific guide to NYU Florence and living abroad: PACKING It was February and the weather was quite indecisive. I dressed for New York City weather. Spring weather greeted me. I was hot. The next day I dressed for early fall weather with only a sweatshirt. It snowed. I got a cold the next day. April and …

Goodbye West Africa

In Accra, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Farewells by RachelMay 12, 20152 Comments

I am sitting at the living room table sipping room temperature black coffee. I leave in two days, 3am Friday morning. I have a week’s amount of work to cram into the next 48 hours… one more final paper, a presentation, two exams, a last half-day interning, and packing. All I want to do is take my camera and run …

It really hasn’t sunk in for me yet that my time is Paris is coming to a close, it feels so natural now that I’m here and in a pattern. Looking back at my goals from the start of the semester, I think I’ve done pretty well. I have improved a lot in French conversation, I have travelled around as …

Some tips, oriented in the mindset of being at NYUP for program II, but some are generally applicable to all Paris students and students study abroad on the whole: Learn as much as you can beforehand – Of course you’ll learn a lot from just being in the country itself, but the more you know at the onset the more …

The Last Supper

In Paris, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Bliss by Kathryn SuttonMay 11, 2015Leave a Comment

I had an old friend staying with me a few weeks ago and it was really nice to see someone so familiar. After a couple hours back together I realized how relieved I was; there had been a pressure that I hadn’t noticed until it wasn’t there anymore. But what was different? Being in a new situation with new people …

Just a “See You Later”

In London, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Farewells by Kerry CandeloroMay 11, 20152 Comments

Confession: I’ve been putting off writing this post for a few days. I guess I’m not ready to accept that I’m leaving soon. It seems like only yesterday I stepped off the plane from Philadelphia, unpacked my big blue suitcase, and placed that thing under my bed- and now, in a short time, I’ll be pulling out that hefty bag …

A New Found Freedom

In Prague, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Farewells by Matthew SeepersadMay 10, 20151 Comment

Before studying abroad, I had to carefully consider my options. I had friends convincing me to go to different locations, each with a convincing backstory to credit it. With so many choices, I had no idea which one I was going to pick – however, one friend said, “studying abroad isn’t about where you go, but whom you go with.” …

Rozloučeni Prague! I hope to see you again soon

In Prague, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Farewells by NameMay 9, 20151 Comment

Study abroad completely exceeded all expectations I had for it, and that is saying something considering all of the amazing things I had heard about study abroad, and specifically Prague, before coming here. I truly think that this experience is one of, if not the most, rewarding times of my life so far. It has given me a completely different …

Study abroad has truly been a life-changing experience and I cannot even begin to express the gratitude I feel for having been given this opportunity. But most importantly, I am so happy that I had the chance to have this experience in Prague, a beautiful city that is truly like no other. I am grateful that I had the chance …

Prague is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and the experience of living here for four months has truly been life-changing. I would 100% recommend coming to Prague for study abroad! Here’s why: First and foremost, Prague has an extremely low cost of living aka cheap!! Yes, beer really is cheaper than water! Anywhere you study …

It’s the Little Things

In Prague, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Bliss by Katherine CarranzaMay 9, 2015Leave a Comment

I am most thankful for the people I am abroad with this semester. For all the opportunity we’ve been given, I can’t imagine sharing these experiences with anyone else. I have often said that its the company that makes the experience, and I only feel like my time abroad has reinforced this idea. While study abroad has definitely had its …

Czeching Out

In Prague, The Art of Travel Spring 2015, Farewells by Eric DuanMay 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Study abroad has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It was my first time stepping foot inside of Europe, and I was pleasantly surprised with what I discovered. Studying in Prague helped me learn, not just about the world, but about myself as well. I learned how I interacted in new environments, the type of traveller …
