Our "What They Brought Back" series will look at eight students and the momentos they keep as reminders of the people, places, and experiences from their study abroad programs all over the world.
Name: Grace ZhangClass of: 2014Major: History and Political ScienceLocation: Rome, ItalyProgram: Civilizations - Antiquity to BaroqueBest part of your trip in five words: It made me feel small
Although Zhang’s program was located in Rome, she did not hesitate to venture out and explore other parts of Europe. She witnessed Murano glassblowing, enjoyed the sweet melodies of Czech street musicians, and sipped hot malt wine from Berlin’s Christkindlmarket. Not to mention the fact that her name is now scribbled on the Berlin Wall. “I think in total I went to about 12 countries,” she says. “But at the end of the day, I realized that there’s no place like home.”
