Studying Abroad...
Sister Maricris Palentinos had the opportunity to study abroad in the Summer of 2013. Here she explains her amazing experience!
My program was through UC Davis called the Grand Tour where we traveled to London, Paris, Mont Blanc, and Rome for a month. We learned about the privileged voyage young Englishmen undertaken in the 18th century for an aristocratic education and followed their footsteps as we embarked on our own journey. The program itself took us many sites. I was amazed by all the various cultures, people, architecture, nature I encountered every day. I was able to visit other cities during my program such as Pisa, Pompeii, Versailles, Vatican City, and Sperlonga. I also stayed an extra week to travel to Amsterdam and Barcelona, and overall visited 10 cities in just five weeks. This program was a life changing experience and I definitely had the time of my life. Studying abroad was one of the BEST decisions I’ve made in my undergraduate career. I miss it so much and I can’t wait to travel again! |
