Top 6 Places To Go If You Are Studying Abroad

1. Lake Como, Italy

In very northern Italy lies Lake Como that contains the most amazing scenery. Coming during warmer months is more ideal as you can go swimming and travel by boat across the lake. You can also George Clooney's house from the lake.

2. Split, Croatia

The second largest city in Croatia, Split has not only beautiful beaches but also has ruins of ancient Rome. Croatia is also not a major destination for American tourists, which makes it more relaxing.

3. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam is a beautiful city and also contains lots of historic sites. There is the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, and so much more. They also have their famous coffee shops that attract many college age kids.

4. Ibiza, Spain

There is no better time to travel to Ibiza then while studying abroad. It's most likely one of your only opportunities to go. Obviously, there are crazy clubs there but there are also beautiful beaches, so definitely go when it's warmer out. It is an experience that you will not want to miss.

5. Paris, France

This is probably on everyone's list, but I believe that given the opportunity one has to go to Paris. It is a breathtaking city with things to do around every corner. The food is also amazing!

6. Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is filled with art and architecture. It is the most visited city in Spain, so there will be a lot of tourists but it is still definitely worth the visit. Barcelona is also known for having extremely fun clubs. It would also be fun to watch a soccer game while you are in Barcelona, as they have extremely rowdy soccer fans.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
