Wilkommen!

You think you know but you have no idea.

Alright, so maybe studying abroad isn’t quite that dramatic, but it is a world of its own. Just having completed my freshman year at UC Davis I was rather nervous to partake in a program where most the students were juniors and seniors and with much more experience and knowledge under their belts. Being a Film Studies and History major I was really pumped to live in Vienna, a city rich with history and the arts, and my experiences there, as well as traveling to Prague and other cities, was more than I could have asked for. By studying abroad I was able to learn fun German phrases and the history of the Habsburgs, I got to satisfy my aesthetic side by visiting museums and attending the opera, I was able to see the effects of Soviet rule in the Czech Republic, and I came away from the program with new friends from different UC campuses and amazing, once-in-a-lifetime memories! If you feel at all hesitant about studying abroad, I say go for it, because you’ll never know when you’ll have the opportunity again…
