Study Abroad Returnees • Stories from Abroad • • • • • Q: What’s one challenge you faced during your time abroad? A: One challenge I faced while abroad was balancing travel and activities with health and time alone to recharge. I wanted to make the most of my experience so I felt like I should always be doing things, but that wasn’t realistic and I had to learn to be okay with some much-needed downtime and rest. I ended up having the time of my life and was able to do and see so many incredible things, so the FOMO wasn’t relevant because everyone has their own adventures and it works out :) • • • • • 🌟 Lauren Hannaway 📚 Major in Psychology 🇮🇹 Semester - Rome, Italy

Study Abroad Returnees • Stories from Abroad • • • • • Q: What was it like to explore a country where you didn’t speak the local language, specifically in Italy?

You catch on to certain things pretty quickly and it won’t feel that foreign for long. • • • • • • 🌟 Sophie Hoefler 📚 Major in International Business 🇮🇹 Semester - Florence University of the Arts
