    A day in the heartbeat of glamour, Milano

    May 23, 2024 /

    By Txell Borràs, University of Bocconi, Milan, Italy Most of us grew up captivated by the glittering allure of teen dramas such as Gossip Girl or Sex and the City. These shows didn’t just entertain us; they ignited a desire deep within to feel like the main character in a buzzing city, with vibrant nightlife, the endless string of events, glamour and fashion. If there’s one city where this dream comes vividly to life, it’s Milan.

    Dealing With Loneliness

    April 23, 2024 /

    By Georgia Reid, Università Bocconi, Italy Studying abroad can be a very exciting time and, for many, a time that they will reminisce on for the rest of their lives. But for some, it will be a very isolating time – not knowing anyone, being far away from home, and in a different time zone from family and friends. So, I have made a list of things to help navigate feelings of loneliness.

    February 29, 2024 /

    By Georgia Reid, Università Bocconi, Italy Bocconi only provides one student accommodation for its exchange students, a large apartment complex called Aparto Giovenale. I was extremely lucky to secure a place there, however, once I arrived it was obvious why so many people struggled to get a place there.

"My first two weeks in Perth! I’ve had a proper Aussie induction through AFL and rugby games, meeting a koala (and snake!) and decorating my own boomerang. Despite it being winter, I have also spent a lot of time by the sea, at Scarborough and Cottelsoe Beaches and visited Matilda Bay on Swan River (not even a 5 minute walk from campus). Through St Catherine’s College, I attended my first Formal Hall (the academic gown) and visited an incredible viewpoint overlooking the Perth skyline." from our GA Elizabeth in Australia 🐨🇦🇺🧡 #uomgoabroad #globalambassador A week in the life at our summer school in Siena ☀️🇮🇹🍕📚🍦🌅 #uom_goabroad Here are photos from my end of year trip from Yosemite, Zion and Joshua Tree National Parks from our Global Ambassador Lucy 🧡 #uomgoabroad #globalambassador Some pics from our summer school students who are currently my in Bordeaux, France (yes, the summer school has its very own dog) ☀🇫🇷🥐 #uomgoabroad These are from my journey on the California Zephyr Amtrak train, from Chicago to San Francisco. The journey was 56 hours but the views of the Rockies and Sierra Nevada were incredible! It is a great trip to do to see more of the USA and also be more sustainable as your carbon emissions are much lower travelling by train compared to flying. - GA Lucy 🚉 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador The last year of my life without a doubt has been the most incredible. I met wonderful people, tasted things I couldn't have imagined and saw the most beautiful sights. Not only did I get to learn a language, but I got to learn about our amazing world and more importantly, Mexico. In my last few weeks, I had the privilege of continuing my travels within Mexico and getting to see how my friends from UDLAP grew up and the culture that raised them. With so many colours even in the streets, its no surprise my friends are so joyful. México, te extraño mucho <3 🇲🇽🧡 Sunny afternoon in Amsterdam - GA Lily ☀️🇳🇱 Go Abroad is hiring! 📣 Photos from our GA Kara's semester in New Zealand - featuring the Routeburn track! 🇳🇿 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador
