Schöne Leser (Lovely reader), A Study Abroad is an experience of a life time. For me it is a chance to understand a completely different way of life 4,545 miles away from my home. I arrived in Bamberg, Germany on March 2nd, having decided to go two weeks earlier than originally planned, allowing extra time to adjust to a new life, in a different country. I took the train from…
I would like to introduce myself; my name is Ashanti S. Long and I’m a Junior at the College of Charleston. I am a Computer Science Major and I want to minor in Japanese Studies.

Hello! My name is Wes Ford, and I’m a Junior Computer Science major at CofC. I’ll be spending this semester studying in Bolzano-Bozen, Italy. I chose the program at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano because of its ties to the Computer Science department at home, and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano seemed to be one of the best possible options for students of the computer science department. I also chose…
My favorite food that I have tried abroad is the famous kroket. The Dutch are known for their fried food. The kroket is usually filled with mashed potatoes and meat of some sort and then fried. They have many foods like this in windows on the street, which you can put change in – like a vending machine for fried food! It draws large crowds for college kids late at…

England isn’t very well known for its food, however, that doesn’t mean that some of their food choices aren’t great! Fish and chips is actually quite a good meal if you get them at a pub, while pies are also very nice to chow down on at the end of the day. I would often stop by this one place at King’s Cross and grab a pork sausage roll or…
Out of 18 weekends in Lille, I traveled during 16 of them. Looking back, this was a bit crazy while dealing with 13 classes. On top of that, I traveled by myself most of the time, meeting up with relatives or other friends in other cities. And, what was even more insane, is that the majority of my flights or trains or buses required me to leave my apartment at…
My academic experience at The American College of Greece differs from classes at the College of Charleston because the school is a lot smaller so I have the same professors for multiple classes. The professors are more personal and maintain more eye contact and are more physical in general. Many of my professors will come over to and ask a question directly to an individual. One of my professors will…
Getting around European countries and cities has been a huge adjustment for me considering in Charleston I can get around mostly everywhere with just my bike and rides from friends. I came to Nice with my friend Reagan who is also a junior at CofC. We live together in an apartment that is about 5 miles away from our school so you have to take a tram or a train…
