I am technically a sophomore, now, and a physics major. I
chose physics simply because it fascinates me. I like knowing how things work
at deeper and deeper levels and want to help push science's limits even
further.
Where will you be going abroad, what will you be doing there
and how will it impact your academics & life goals?
I'm going to the UK for the Medieval England program where
I'll be taking two honors colloquia. Academically, this will get two required
courses out of the way. More importantly, I think that studying abroad will
help me round out my people skills and get rid of a stutter that I have.
What are some of the more unique/interesting details of your
study abroad program?
We'll get to visit major landmarks in England, including the Tower of London, Hastings, and Canterbury. We also have long weekends that we can use for independent travel. I'll be taking an excursion to Dublin early in the program.

What
is most exciting to you about going abroad?
The most exciting thing is the independence. I've gone
abroad before with a group from high school, but we stuck to a very strict
itinerary and had to stay close together. This summer, I'll be able to explore
at my own pace and maybe take some really nice photos.
