Study Abroad is officially over, but my time in Europe isn’t! I still have about a week left to enjoy, and I’d be going to Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna during that time. Much of my time spent was dedicated to sight seeing (unsurprising) and to eating great food (even less surprising). Over all, I can […]
Week 5: Final Week of Study Abroad
It’s the last week of study abroad now, and we’ve finished up our time in Essen and gone on to Hamburg. During this time, we’ve visited a few other places, including Pheonixsee, a beautiful town that is largely characterized by its large, man-made lake.

Week 2: Schloss, Pupper, Bad Food Rec

It’s week 2 in study abroad, and we have continued to walk to just about every destination. Among our destinations […]
