My time in Italy will always be one of the most meaningful learning experiences I have ever had the opportunity to participate in. I was fortunate enough to study in Rome through the University of Mary for four weeks in May of 2017. During this time, I lived in Rome and traveled to amazing places like Assisi, Venice, and Florence. This was the first time I had ever been outside of the country, and I learned so much about the Italian people and their culture. This trip also immensely deepened my faith and relationship with God; walking through so many holy places was truly a one-of-a-kind experience that I will cherish forever.
