Having a "Glass Half Full" Mentality While Abroad

As I stated in one of my first blogs, I was disappointed to see that I was assigned to live in the housing option that I had ranked the lowest. I was sure that it would ruin my experience, especially living so far from the center of Amsterdam. Despite these preconceived notions, I found ways to make my experience as amazing as I knew that studying abroad could be. Read along to hear how I adjusted and how I am able to find time to explore the city despite being far away!

The Environmental Studies modules include several extensive and exciting course- related excursions during which you will gather data and conduct research in locations such as the Black Forest and the Rhine River Valley. The cost of these trips is included in the program. Optional day trips (for an additional cost) may include: A hiking weekend, either in the Black Forest or in the Vosges Mountains in Alsace, France Trip length: 1 day Trip fee: $90 (includes transportation, entrance fees, tour guides)
