Honors chemical engineering student Nick Kordsmeier spent his summer studying the masterpieces of Michelangelo and Caravaggio, learning Italian from native Romans, hiking the still-active Mt. Vesuvius, and eating some of the world’s best gelato. Here is an excerpt from his recent post:
"Deciding to study abroad in Italy was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Seeing another part of the world and learning about its culture has opened me up to trying new things and meeting new people. I got to study art firsthand and practice Italian on real Italians. I also expect that my time abroad will stand out to employers during my job search this year since a lot of engineering companies have an international presence. I would definitely recommend studying abroad, and if you want to see Italy, the U of A Summer Campus in Rome is a great program."
