The fear of the shock

I won’t check myself into CAPS just yet, but I won’t be surprised if I need to come January. I, along with many other juniors studying abroad, should be prepared to go slightly insane upon returning to Richmond.

Living European: A recipe for American success

I wondered how my life could ever be sufficient without a good, steady flow of money to keep me comfortable. Then I came to Spain.

Enjoy living the glamorous life?

A word of “achtung” (caution) – surviving Oktoberfest

In the spirit of October (and what better way to celebrate this glorious month than a beer-and-pretzel-laden festival in a German city), I would like to recount an amazing weekend abroad: Oktoberfest 2009.

Florence, Italy: Part I of II

Junior Eliza Morse has an adventure in Florence, Italy. Morse visited various Italian cities on the way to Cortona, where she is studying abroad.
