Study Abroad Blog: A friend who changed my experience
By: Peer Advocate, Addie Gorgoni
I was always hesitant to go abroad by myself. I’m a relatively independent person but going abroad was a completely different realm of independence. The furthest I have ever traveled by myself was flying back home to New York from Indianapolis. But I watched my sister go abroad her junior year of college all by herself. She had the opportunity to go with her roommates, but she knew that studying in a different country was something that she wanted to do by herself, so she ended up going solo. When the opportunity presented itself for me to go abroad my junior year, I knew that if my sister could handle it, so could I.
