Hey, I studied abroad in Rome for five months and I highly suggest studying abroad anywhere. It is an absolutely amazing experience and I’d return in a heartbeat. The best way I can sum up studying abroad is this, you are leaving your comfort zone and learning to live independently and in my case you can essentially “find yourself”. It helps you to think clearly especially when it comes to your future and gives you a new perspective on life, just keep in mind at first it’s usually scary and you get homesick but by then end you wont wanna leave. As for the UK, I visited london while abroad and let me just tell you it is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite places. The people are so nice, and the history is cool too if you’re interested in that, like I was. If you do go to the UK just know that the exchange rate for pounds are way different than the Euro and double the dollar. Although things aren’t as expensive it’s going to take a lot of money to live there comfortably for a semester. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. - Francesca
