    May 23, 2024 /

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.

Spent the weekend in Boston exploring Fenway Park, Harvard, the MassArt Museum and more! The T made it easy to get everywhere while keeping things a bit more sustainable. - GA Amy ❄🚄 🌍#globalambassador #uom_goabroad A weekend trip to Washington DC! Perfect place for politics and history students as it was very educational with free museums and historical buildings to visit! - GA Amy 🇺🇸🧡 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad Our Global Ambassadors write blog posts about their experience studying abroad to inspire and help future students, developing skills from effective communication to storytelling 📝 Interested? Apply now - the deadline is next Friday! 🤩 #uom_goabroad  #globalambassador Some pictures from the start of my second semester at ANU! I've had a wonderful time visiting a local vineyard, a sunflower maze, going in a hot air balloon at the Canberra balloon spectacular and watching the skyfire fireworks over lake burley griffin with friends :) - GA Lily 🎈🧡 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador Same thing. Said two ways. Both agree that you should apply now. #uom_goabroad Some of the fun activities and events that Rutgers has put on for free for all students! A stand-up set by Caleb Hearon, basketball games, a Coach pop-up event, a trip to see the New Jersey Devils play and a trip to the United Nations in New York! - GA Amy 🏀🇺🇸 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad My trip to New York in December, as a layover on my way home. I went to the top of the rock, watched a show, and visited the MET. For students on a travel grant especially, a long layover is a great way to see new places, especially if your journey home is as long as the one from Australia to the UK. - GA Lily ✈️🇺🇸 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador Scholarship opportunity for undergraduate students completing an international experience! Open to any student completing a study abroad, summer school, or a work, internship or traineeship placement in 2026 🌍 First snow in New Jersey, the east coast gets cold and new weather conditions is all part of the new experiences on exchange! - GA Amy ❄ #uom_goabroad #globalambassador
