Last Week in Italy

Submitted by Jordan Wax on the 2020 winter session study abroad program in Italy sponsored by the Department of Finance and the Department of English…

The fourth and last week of my study abroad experience was a push to the finish line. The past week has had a ton of work building up in the classroom, but we’ve had a lot of time to explore Italy. This past weekend, we have been able to travel to Venice and Verona.

In Venice, I was able to connect with some other study abroad students through them over hearing us talking in English. They knew we were from the U.S. from the way we spoke and we were able to meet up with some locals as well. Some of the locals had very good English which surprised me, but it made it quite easy to communicate with them.
