Michigan players excited for study abroad opportunities after Rome

Related Topics: Study abroad

For most of the Michigan football team, next week’s focus is on experiencing Rome, Italy.

The Wolverines will spend nine days there seeing all the famous sights and practicing a bit.

About 20-to-25 Wolverines are looking past that, though, as they’ll study abroad for a few weeks following the trip, as coach Jim Harbaugh intended.

The chance for the players to branch out on their own following the trip was Harbaugh’s stated emphasis, giving them a boost they would never consider otherwise.

Each player made a different choice for an individual reason. Some were spurred by curiosity, some by academics, some by a world interest.
