Hello! My name is Chase Lee, and I am currently a senior at the College of Charleston, studying abroad in Rome, Italy for the Fall 2023 semester. I have been in Rome for about two months now and have loved every minute of it. When I wrote my first blog post, the last place that I had visited was Barcelona. Since then, I have traveled to Venice and the Amalfi…

Hi everyone! My name is Sierra and I’m a Communication and Arts Management double major at the college! I’m a junior who will be studying abroad in Rome with API.

After a few months have passed abroad, I am now seeing the end of my program in Rome Italy. I find it quite different than Madrid. The public transportation is not as efficient, and operates a little differently, so asking if a coffee shop sells bus tickets in Italian is much harder than Spanish. I have found Rome to be overwhelming with the amount of monuments that litter the sides…

Here we are in Rome! This experience has already been so phenomenal. I have 7 roommates in a huge apartment that overlooks the city. I don’t know how API managed to do it, but the living situation surpassed any and all expectations I had. I will say, there are many differences I’ve noticed since being abroad. For example, when you go into a grocery store, you have to weigh and…
Here we are, somehow already in November. So much has happened in such a short amount of time. I did end up going to Amsterdam with two of my roommates from Rome and one of my roommates from Charleston. Definitely one of the most amazing places I have ever been. The canals through every street are breathtaking and don’t even get me started on how phenomenal Stroopwafels are. Our hotel…
