Never-ending Nostalgia

Not a day goes by where I don’t think about my time spent studying abroad in Lyon. This experience brought me lifelong friendships and wonderful connections with the UCLy and USAC staff that have spanned further than my time spent abroad. I had always dreamed of studying abroad and even spent countless hours imagining who my host family would be - nothing could have prepared me for the incredible experience I would have with my host in Lyon. This living situation gave me the opportunity to practice my French outside of class and now I know that I always have a second home in Lyon. I yearn to experience something as great as this trip again, but I know that I carry the memories of this excursion with me everyday.
