I have a passion for traveling and I knew going into 费尔菲尔德 as a freshman that I wanted to study abroad. 我知道工程师通常在爱尔兰学习, 所以我研究了一下这所学校，发现它是一所顶尖的生物医学工程学院. From then on I knew Ireland was where I wanted to spend my abroad experience 今天 I consider this to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

我的高潮时刻
我的高潮时刻 in 高威 was in the end when NUI 高威 held its annual Christmas celebration. All the students attended class in their Christmas attire and the overall mood of the student body was very cheerful. The night was then started off with a city-sponsored parade through town which was followed by a small, 但是很有趣, 和学生一起去酒吧, 仍然穿着他们的圣诞服装. 镇上的每个人心情都很好，酒吧也跟着主题一起播放. 圣诞音乐到处都是，街道上灯火通明.

我的经历是否为费尔菲尔德的生活做好了准备?
有了国外的经历之后，我会觉得自己对世界的文化意识更强了. 换句话说, I have gained a greater appreciation for the other cultures around me and I have become more aware of the cultural diversity even within the United States. This has helped me bring a different perspective into the classroom as we discuss topics relating to history, 宗教, 和哲学.

意大利的佛罗伦萨

浓度: 创意写作

是什么让你出国留学的?
我家是意大利人, 他们会说这种语言, 所以我一直想去意大利，并且可以说我也在那里生活过. 从我年轻的时候起，我就想去旅行. Italy was my dream because I wanted to learn more about the culture and fully immerse myself in order to really understand my family’s background, 同时强迫自己走出长岛和费尔菲尔德的舒适区.

你参加过哪些活动?
An activity I participated in while abroad was cleaning the streets of 弗洛伦斯 during a community service opportunity with the company Angeli del Bello. We walked the streets with an older Italian woman while she asked us about our lives in America, 我用我的意大利语辅修来翻译. 十大正规网赌软件决定再次加入这个组织做志愿者, and we painted over a fence at a local park; the people of 弗洛伦斯 were stopping to praise us for our work, 感谢十大正规网赌软件清洁了他们的城市. It was a really great feeling for our work to be appreciated because it made me feel like less of a tourist and more of an included part of society.

你在国外生活的亮点是什么?
我出国留学经历中最精彩的部分绝对是秋季假期. 我很幸运，在十天内去了五个不同的国家, 虽然很累, 能看到这么多我一直梦想去的地方真是太棒了. 如果让我挑选一个真正超现实的时刻，那就是参观埃菲尔铁塔. 十大正规网赌软件第一次去看灯光秀是在晚上，灯光还没亮我就哭了起来. 艾菲尔铁塔是我在照片或电影中看到的东西, 但我从没想过我能亲眼看到它. 我想我永远也忘不了我第一次看到埃菲尔铁塔的那一刻. I wish I could relive it and experience that feeling again; it was really amazing.

出国留学对你离开费尔菲尔德后的生活有何帮助?
I think studying abroad has taught me so many valuable life lessons and I have more confidence in myself and my future than I had before coming to 弗洛伦斯. Patience and appreciation for your surroundings and other human beings is definitely a skill that is extremely valuable in the real world. I have learned to converse with people in a different language and have patience to listen to those who cannot understand me as well. 我学会了如何和陌生人住在一起，在自己的公寓里做饭和打扫. 我不仅在这里的教室里学习, but the lessons outside of the classroom are what have really helped me realize that I can be in the workforce with confidence in my ability to converse with others who are different than myself and problem solve in situations I may not have found myself in ever before.
