My name is Vineel Prathipati, an upcoming sophomore at the College of Charleston, pursuing a B.S in Business Administration. As a student going on the pre-med path, I have spent a majority of my time in a research lab or a clinical setting but through this program, I hope to be able to witness medicine/healthcare from a different setting. In addition, I will be fortunate to take the Hons 250…
As cliche as it sounds, studying abroad was truly a life changing experience. In many ways, it felt like I was living a second life – I was living in a new country and making new friends, I didn’t know the language or the culture I was immersed in, and I didn’t know the social cues needed to blend in. It was a humbling and exciting experience to adjust and…
My favorite food abroad was during our food tour in Athens, Greece. We were a little unsure about how it would go at the start since we had an early wake up time and weren’t sure what to expect. Our tour guide, Georgia, was so energetic and happy and truly made the experience one to remember. The first stop was to try the Greek koulouri, which is bread with sesame…
The adjustment to life in Spain has been very fun so far, but one thing that I have noticed is that I have had to make sure that I am taking care of myself. A lot of the time when I am traveling or experiencing something new, I put my needs on the backburner because I don’t want to miss out on anything. Staying with a host family was something…

Hi!! I’m Kiara Williams, a rising sophomore here at College of Charleston. I am a secondary education major with an additional major with English. I chose the Reggio Emilia Art Education abroad program because it was a great opportunity to allow me and other students to see the inside of Italian culture and schools… which would benefit me on what I can do as a future educator to incorporate what…

I sit on a train bound for Paris as I write this blog post and reflect on my semester abroad. Studying abroad is the best thing I could have done for myself in college. I was able to learn so much outside of the traditional classroom setting and experience much more of the world than I had before. I was able to see the applications of theories and knowledge we…
So far on our trip, we have done a lot of sightseeing. We walked through some parts of central Paris, we visited The Louvre, we took a walking tour of the Saint Germain region in Paris, we took a Seine River cruise, and we explored another region of Paris called Le Marais. I have needed to take public transportation to get anywhere and everywhere. While there have been a few…
