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.
