My name is Andrianna Jacobs, but everyone calls me Andy. I am from Rochester, MN and I was a pole vaulter and Captian for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Women's Track and Field Team. I am passionate about making people smile, helping make a difference in the world, and understanding new cultures. I'm excited to be in Rome and ready to make the most of all my opportunities!

A rising junior hailing from the College of Wooster, I'm pursuing a double major in Anthropology and French/Francophone Studies with an accompanying double minor in MENA Studies and Statistical/Data Sciences. These intersecting fields brought me to my upcoming study abroad experience in Morocco, where I am incredibly excited to explore the many cultures and languages that have shaped this beautiful country. Other interests of mine include international baking, travel, and music.

Hi!! I'm Lauren and am a Junior at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I'm double-majoring in English and French, but I'm also planning on declaring an Accounting minor as soon as I return from being abroad. Outside of academics, I LOVE being outside. I'm big into hiking and running or even just long walks with friends or with my dog. I really enjoy reading but I always find myself buying too many books that I don't have the time to read (holding out hope that I make my way through them someday). Also, everywhere I go I have to find a good coffee shop (shoutout to Little River Coffee Bar in Spartanburg and Junto/Methodical Coffee in Greenville). Other than that I really enjoy just spending time with my friends and family:))

My name is Brady Judd. I am from Mill Creek, Washington, and I am a third-year history major at Whitworth University. As a history nerd, I am incredibly excited to be traveling to the UK. I have also long been a fan of British culture, watching shows like "Top Gear" and "Sherlock" as I grew up. I am an avid learner, so I can't wait to share all of the things I will be discovering with you.

I’m a third year student at the University of Redlands, pursuing an alternative education through the Johnston Centre of Integrative Studies, and I am studying abroad at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford. This essentially means that I design my own major, and instead of grades, I get written evaluations. I study History, Film, Literature, and Art. I’m deeply involved in the community, which means I love going to meetings and deciding policy! I love to sew costumes and clothes and to watch old movies with friends.

Hi everyone! Studying abroad in Nice specifically has been a dream of mine since I was a junior in high school.

It's very important to me to write from the perspective of a first gen and low income student. I want to provide y'all with some sense of comfort and togetherness during what might be a super exciting but potentially scary or overwhelming process. I just want my experiences and advice to mean something to students like me.

I hope y'all enjoy the things I share!

Hi!! I'm Kate Cook, a junior at Villanova University Studying Comprehensive Sciences/Computer Science. I grew up in Thailand, and spent most of high school in Fairfax, VA, but have been living in Sydney, Australia for the last 4 years. Evidently, I've got lots of experience with foreign education but I can't wait to see what it's like in Europe! I love to travel, paint, read, play volleyball, and listen to all genres of music. I am beyond excited to be living in Milan for a semester, and can't wait to share all of my stories with you!

Hello! My name is Darienne. I’m a student at Duke University, studying abroad in Madrid this fall. I’m studying biomedical engineering but plan to attend medical school after graduation. In Madrid I hope to perfect my Spanish-speaking skills because I see a lot of value in communicating with others who may not understand English, especially in the healthcare field. Some of my favorite things to do for relaxation include reading on the beach and listening to music. I consider myself outgoing, but also enjoy my alone time to think and reflect on my life. I think studying abroad will be the perfect chance to meet others while also growing as a person individually. I’m excited to share my authentic study abroad experience with anyone and everyone interested!

Hi! My name is Henry Mills and I am an incoming junior and marketing major at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff Arizona. I love to play and watch sports, especially soccer, as well as go out with friends and explore nature! I am originally from Portland Oregon and am very excited for my adventures in Madrid.

Hello! My name is Emma Hughes, and I'm a junior studying Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Iowa. I'm visiting London to study public relations and explore the arts and theatre communities in the UK. I love theatre, creative writing, game nights, and movies. This fall, I hope to have lots of new and exciting experiences in London, and that sharing them with you helps you get the most out of your time abroad!
