Benefits of not going abroad

Every morning I’m greeted with the same routine. I grab my phone from the bedside table and start mindlessly thumbing through the latest posts on Instagram.

As I scroll through pictures, I see my best friends posing with one another in front of grand monuments and magnificent landscapes. They’re lifting their food in the air and capturing breathtaking views. In this moment, I can’t help but wish I were smiling alongside of them.

It isn’t a secret that the majority of Wake Forest’s junior class opts to spend the fall semester studying abroad.

Whether you’re dancing the night away in Barcelona or devouring endless pizzas in Florence, studying abroad is a chance to make new friends and experience the world.
