Study Abroad
Charlie Johnson's Spanglish is welcomed in Valparaiso
As a part of PC’s Maymester program, I had the opportunity to come to Chile for two weeks last May with the Spanish department. One of the things that struck me at the time about Chileans was that everyone we met seemed to be very open to foreigners in their country. >>more
My First Two Months (Mas o Manos) in Chile
I’m not really the type of person to go off on grand globe-trotting adventures, so for a couple of months after I sent in my study abroad applications, and even for a little while after I had confirmed my participation in the IFSA-Butler program in Valparaíso, Chile, for this semester, I waited for that urge to chicken out. >>more

European itinerary: Climb rocks, improve French, ride horses
I have really enjoyed my time in Europe. I am studying abroad in Grenoble, France, located in the heart of the French Alps. I am surrounded by snow-covered mountains, and the city is amazing. There is always something to do -- museums, rock climbing (my personal favorite), or just relaxing at a local cafe. >>more
Student sees Cinderella's castle and other places she's dreamed about
My favorite part of studying abroad is the opportunity to see places in Europe that I've always dreamed about. I've gotten to go to Paris, Rome, and other places in France and Germany. I've also gotten to see Neuschwanstein, the castle that Cinderella's castle is based on. I'm also going to get to see Pompeii, Italy, and that has been my dream since I was six years old. >>more
"No Pasa Nada" in Grenada
Studying abroad in Spain was the best experience I've had in my life, and the best choice I have ever made. The semester I spent abroad flew by quickly, yet by the end I felt like I had been living in Spain for years, and I was certainly not ready to come home. I have so many memories that it seems like I was there for much longer than four months. >>more
Student visits medieval castles in Ireland and takes a mystery trip to Poland
Studying abroad has been one of the best opportunities I have taken since becoming a student at P.C. I have made friends with students from all over Europe and different parts of the United States. Studying abroad causes you to think outside the box and step out of your comfort zone. This can sometimes cause awkward situations, but they have been great learning experiences and are many times fun to look back upon and laugh about. >>more
"Southern Belle" in London
This past semester I had the wonderful opportunity of studying in London with the Hansard Scholars Program. I took classes at The London School of Economics (LSE) and had the privilege of being an intern in Parliament. >>more
On the Go at Otago: Student studies in New Zealand
I'm spending a semester at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand and thus far, it's been a blast. I came over with the IFSA-Butler programme that started off my trip with a great orientation which included a visit to a Maori Marae. >>more
Geisha-gazing and karaoking in Kyoto: Japan hits a high note during student's Semester at Sea
After visiting 12 countries in 109 days during my Semester at Sea, I’d have to say Japan was my favorite country, and I didn’t expect that at all. When our ship landed in Kobe, I immediately headed to the train station to go to Kyoto, the last city in Japan that has Geisha. >>more
Discovering Spain: Art Major visits famous works and learns about the Spanish culture and herself in the process
It has been amazing to be able to come here and visit some of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Only in Barcelona is one able to find the works of Gaudi, a famous architect in Spain. Some of his works include Parc Guell, a public park; Casa Batlo, an amazing house that seems to have come out from a fairy tale; La Pedrera, a building made of white stone that defies the laws of gravity; and La Sagrada Familia, a church which Gaudi spent his last years working on. >>more
