WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?

My favorite class while studying abroad was my Tropical Marine Biology class I took during my time in Costa Rica. We got to learn about so many interesting different aspects of the ocean, as well as take an amazing class field trip where we got to collect plankton at night, see bioluminescence in the pacific ocean, and snorkel!

HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?

My friends and I from my study abroad program went to all sorts of community events held within our city such as artisan markets downtown, Christmas markets, the farmers market, we went to the theater to watch performances, and tried all sorts of coffee shops and restaurants! I also joined a local gym in my city and was able to make local friends through that as well!
