Genoa is My Favorite City

When I arrived in Genoa, I was two days early for the program. Driving in from a very far distance, I saw the water, the sea during the sunset! Finally, when I made it to the location for my program, I had three roommates: one from Maryland, one from California, and one from Canada (New Brunswick). We were all quite different, but all had something to share.

The first night we met up with the girls, who had a separate dormitory, and had dinner (I had veal ravioli). The program consisted of many moments like this: family-style meals and my favorite part, law firm visits.

I think I enjoyed my experience more than some of my peers because I am bilingual in Italian and was able to understand much more, but we did have our hostess, who regularly translated for us. I learned a lot about the Italian legal system compared to the American system. In addition, we had a class where we prepared for the LSAT and reviewed the ins and outs of law school. Additionally, we had weekend trips planned by the hostess that included train rides to Portofino and kayaking by the South of France.

All of this was included, and really, if you decide to go, take the opportunity to have fun, and you will! Also I loved the transportation system in Genoa specifically over the rest of Italy, and i loved taking runs throughout the city.
