Marketing Major
Study Abroad: Milan, Italy
What was one of your favorite classes?  Visual Merchandising
 
What did you like about your program/university? My internship with a personal stylist.
 
What was your favorite place that you visited or favorite part about your city? My favorite part of Milan was the fashion. It is incredible to be at the center of the fashion industry, which is the industry I want to go into. The Armani and Prada museums, Milan Fashion Week, the high end boutiques, and the outlet shopping were amazing. Everyone dresses nice there, no one wears sweats!
 
What advice would you give to the 2022 abroad students?  Be open to trying new experiences and really getting out of your comfort zone. Also, remember you're never going to get a chance to live abroad with few responsibilities or a job. Make the most of it.
