Arcadia Abroad

"Some of my favorite parts of living in Sydney were how active and outdoors-focused the lifestyle is. I loved being able to go on coastal walks, spend time at the beach, or explore different neighborhoods, all in the same week. The social atmosphere also stood out as people are generally open, and there’s always something going on, whether it’s markets, cafes, or events. I also appreciated how safe and clean the city feels, which made it easy to fully enjoy day-to-day life. Overall, the combination of nature, energy, and lifestyle made it a really memorable place to live" - Winnie Welch (Colgate University), University of Sydney - Spring Friendly

"Experiencing Italian food culture was one of the things I was most excited about while studying abroad in Florence. My roommates and I made it a priority to try new restaurants because food is such an important part of Italian culture. I loved how each dish was made with such high-quality, fresh ingredients. The slower paced meals felt more meaningful and sharing them with my friends became one of the most special parts of my experience abroad." - Liz Ripley (Ohio State University), ISI Florence
