THE BEST THREE MONTHS OF MY LIFE

I traveled to Verona, Italy for my study abroad semester in the Fall of 2023. It was the most wonderful experience I could've ever asked for. That isn't saying that everything went perfect. There were some ups and downs, but nothing compared to living abroad, traveling to new places, and building lifelong friendships and memories! I think about my abroad trip every day with a smile on my face, and still keep in touch with the people I met during the program. The school was a 40 minute walk from our apartments, but there were many other modes of transportation. I usually took the bus and bought myself a 2 month bus pass when I was there, and other people enjoyed the walk or used an electric scooter. The field trips we had during our stay were SO fun, and we had free time to do what we wanted. One of my favorite trips was going to Limone, Lake Garda. After the field trip was over we stayed near the peak of the lake and visited a rocky beach called Sirmione. Verona is a very cute city, and the Arena in the center of the town is actually older than Rome's Colosseum! I had the privilege of seeing an opera show while I was there. The shopping strip near the Arena is also very nice, and it's only a 10 minute walk away from the school. Verona is also known for being Romeo and Juliet's love place, where you can visit Juliet's statue and balcony. I highly recommend studying abroad in Verona!! You won't regret it!
