Rome Fall 2024

It's safe to say that my semester abroad changed my life for the better. While I loved traveling to beautiful countries, seeing amazing monuments, and learning about Roman history, my favorite part about studying abroad was the community I made. Everyone was so different in background, religious views, political views, etc. I was amazed how such a diverse group of people were about to get along so well. We challenged each other and supported each other. I learned many valuable life lessons from my peers and my RCs. I learned how to be more open-minded towards people, to be curious and not certain. I learned the importance of culture and how to truly listen to someone's story, Most importantly, I learned the goodness of God through my friends because they loved me unconditionally.
