I love being on the go and trying new things!
What is one thing that you are most anticipating about your study abroad experience?
I’m anticipating my study abroad to have a lot of affordable travel around France and Europe. From past travel experience, I’ve learned the most efficient ways to travel on a budget, and i’m so excited to use these skills during my abroad year. Additionally, I’ve always taken academics very seriously, so I’m interested to see how I will create my work/life balance.
Why did you decide to study abroad? or What inspired you to study abroad?
I always knew that I wanted to study abroad since I was younger because my parents did it and I grew up loving to travel. Picking an abroad location was very difficult, but when I found IAU on passport I knew right away that that was the program I had to attend. Regardless of my lack of French knowledge, I had a feeling that Aix-en-Provence could be the perfect home for me for four months.

Why did you decide to study abroad? or What inspired you to study abroad?
The idea of “YOLO” was the ultimate factor. I initially wasn’t planning on studying abroad but I realized that I was fortunate to be at an institution that supports the experience and I should probably take advantage of the experience. The institution I picked abroad offers an internship program and that’s what solidified my choice in the end!
