Ciao! My name is Carly and I am going into my junior year at MSU Denver as a pre-nursing student. During the Spring 2018 semester I was lucky enough to study in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy, and had the greatest time of my life. Not only did I meet amazing and life-long friends, but I was also able to experience the culture of many different countries. This experience allowed me to learn about the world first hand, and also taught me a great deal about myself. I was able to learn about being independent and how to navigate through any challenges life may throw my way. My time abroad has opened my eyes to my passion for travel, and has helped me decide that I want to continue to experience what other parts of the world have to offer. I would recommend studying abroad to any and everyone, because I truly believe that everyone should get to have the same learning opportunities that studying abroad provided me with!
