Oh The Places You'll Go!!!!

1. MORE. DAY.
I repeat..
1. MORE. DAY.

Just one more day until I pack my bags, say my goodbyes, and take off for the adventure of a lifetime!!! For the past year and a half I have been preparing, applying, interviewing, planning, and becoming insanely excited to study abroad in Coventry, England. I will be enrolled at Coventry University within their sports marketing & management program. 


This is not a normal study abroad program, this is the best!! 

Most programs accept around 30 people from their university that they already know, they take classes with those 30 students and their program director, and travel in a huge group around the world. My program differs greatly. I am apart of a brand new exchange program between CSB/SJU and Coventry University. There were 6 Coventry students that studied at CSB/SJU this past fall and now there are 5 students, including me, from CSB/SJU that will be studying at Coventry University this spring. We will be completely embedded into Coventry University with students and professors from around the world! This difference will give me the opportunity to make new friends and really expand my understanding of the world. I will be completing three courses: British History, Sports Marketing, and Sports Management. Furthermore, I will have an internship on a preprofessional sports team or sports related field. We will be finding out our placement within the first few weeks of arriving at the university. Can't wait! Finally, I will have the opportunity to travel the world! The 5 of us are pre-traveling in Dublin, Ireland and Holyhead, Wales. With the sports marketing and management program, we will be attending conferences in Holland and Germany. A Prague trip is planned with the Economics Club. My family is visiting and will be traveling around England and France. My mom and I will be spending a girls week together in Italy. Many other trips are being planned, but I can't wait to plan quick weekend trips with my new friends!

Stay tuned for pictures and stories from my travels. 

Stay classy!!
