IMBA Study Abroad: Mediterranean Cruise, Livorno and Pisa
This day we decided to relax and take it easy after the stress of the Rome ordeal. We docked in Livorno, Italy, and had the option of visiting Pisa and/or Florence. We decided to pick just one and went to Pisa by bus. It is a little town surrounded by a wall that looks like […]
IMBA Study Abroad: Mediterranean cruise, Civitavecchia and Rome

The ship is enormous and definitely engineered for fun 🙂 We left our bags and immediately explored it. […]

IMBA Study Abroad: Barcelona, Day 2
After no sleep for sooo many hours, I decided to rest instead of going out to a bar opening with Monica and one of her friends from here. We originally wanted to take the tour bus around the city bright and early but we were very tired. I went out on my own to explore […]

From the 73 students who will finish the program in the summer semester, 13 were randomly selected to provide input at a luncheon meeting on April 27, 2009. “We interact with students on […]
