Submitted by Payton Dorsch on the 2020 spring semester study abroad program in Rome, Italy…
The adjustment to studying abroad hasn’t been an easy one, but honestly I am already so happy where I am I wouldn’t trade it. I found the easiest things back home, like going to the grocery store to be the hardest thing while living in Rome. Laundry has been hard too, but once I was able to get around all the small daily tasks and learn how to master those, living in Italy has been a blast!! I’m absolutely in love with the sights I see. Walking home from class every day, I pass the Colosseum which is totally insane!!! The adjustment stage was really tough, but day by day its getting easier and I am so happy and wouldn’t change this experience for the world!
