The most rewarding part of this program is the lifelong friendships I made with other students on this trip. Over two weeks, many of us bonded and intend to stay connected for personal and professional purposes. It was truly valuable to have others who also experience the culture shock, or the feeling of embarrassment when you are not following cultural norms, and find a new life perspective.
I also appreciated the quick tutorial of navigating the public transportation system and the autonomy to venture out and explore the different cities.

The entire experience was incredible. I appreciated the lessons provided by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, the agency visits, the site tours, the variety of places traveled, and the rich experience of navigating in a different country rich in history and culture.

Prepare yourself for a completely different daily life than the United States. How you conduct yourself in public spaces makes you need to be more observant than we are in the U.S.
