I chose Central College Abroad because I had heard such great things about the program, the students, the courses as well as the resident director, Shelley – who has been amazing. There is just something about this city that I love so much: the history, food, culture, architecture, shopping are all things that continue to get me out of bed in the morning and out exploring.
