I had an amazing opportunity to study abroad in Sweden through the North2North program. My semester in Sweden was filled with unforgettable memories. Initially nervous, I quickly felt at home at Stockholm University, immersing myself in Swedish culture.

Meeting people from around the world was a highlight, and exploring Sweden's famous spots with my new friends, such as Gamla Stan, Drottningholm Palace, and holiday night markets, was a blast. I even took a side trip to Italy, experiencing places like Verona and immersing myself in Italian culture for a week.

I’m so excited that I had the opportunity to study abroad for 1 month in Siena, Italy during the summer! The city is so beautiful, and the historic buildings are very different from what it’s like living in Thunder Bay. The food was amazing, and there was an amazing nearby pasta place that we liked to stop by after class. There was always something to do and lots to explore. I spent some time hiking, we did a day trip in Florence, and I even visited some family friends for a weekend in France!
