Caroline Barto, Alumni Ambassador

HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY ABROAD?
I took the tram to class every day, so I watched how locals communicated with one another and acted in public. Additionally, I interacted with locals through shopping at the grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and bars.

WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS SHARE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
Going alone to study abroad, or with a small group, was the best decision I ever made for myself! I wanted an experience that was mine and not with a large group of friends. If you're striving for a personal experience, do the same!
