I had such a great time today on our field trip! We first visited Porchester castle where we got to have some laughs dressed up in old-timely outfits. We then made our way to Portsmouth where we were able to see three historical ships, the Mary Rose, HMS Victory, and HMS Warrior. We also took a boat ride into the harbor, which was great fun!

#plnustudyabroad #plnu #oxford #porchester #portsmouthIt was a bright and sunny Oxford summer day today! @scio_oxford took us on a walking tour to highlight some the historical aspects of Oxford. We saw many of the Oxford Colleges, an ornate art piece called the Martyrs Memorial, and a humble statue by Antony Gormley. After, I went and explored the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, which was full of interesting and beautiful artifacts.

#plnu #plnustudyabroad #scio #oxford #sciooxfordParis update! So far, it has been great! We have been able to see the Eiffel Tower at night, visit the Pompidou art museum, enjoy church at La Madeleine, and so much more! I even got to meet up with Dr. Adams, one of my nursing professors! Today we are headed to the Louvre, which I’m excited for. The culture has been so different compared to London, so we are definitely adjusting. But, we are still having fantastic experiences!
Life in Trastevere: Trastevere is a neighborhood of Rome where I go to school (John Cabot University). It’s known for its history, night life and beautiful streets. The culture here is amazing I think it’s the best place in Rome. The last video is of a group that I pass nearly everyday on the way home from school. Walking through the streets of Trastevere has been the highlight of my entire study abroad experience
Took some time away from Prague for spring break to visit 4 cities in Italy by train: Venice, Verona, Cinque Terre, and Rome!! I am sad that spring break is over but looking forward to going back home to Prague!
Portugal! One last trip before heading home in just 6 days! The lightest I’ve ever packed, the weather here is so perfect @aliseaquist #plnu #plnustudyabroad #plnuabroad #liverpool #portugal #travel #studyabroad
Check out PLNU student @aliseaquist featured in @thepointweekly this week! Applications for Liverpool - HOPE program are STILL OPEN!
Loooove being a tourist in this city!! Honestly... when I first got here I definitely didn’t want to go out and see some of the sites because I was afraid of looking too much like a tourist 🙈 but, I’ve had so much fun taking in Liverpool! I definitely recommend seeing everything you can when you visit a new place... the stories you’ll be able to tell are worth far more than looking like a local and missing out on something special! @aliseaquist // #plnu #plnuabroad #plnustudyabroad #studyabroad

Salzburg, Austria is such a great area to explore! In one day you can tour an ice cave at the top of a mountain and a salt mine underneath. The city is also beautiful from the top of the Fortress Hohensalzburg. #plnustudyabroad #austria #salzburg
Nice —> Monte Carlo! During our weekend trip in Nice, France, we took a 20 minute train over to Monaco. Straight out of a movie scene, Monte Carlo was as dreamy and luxurious as you could imagine 🤩🦋 // @nicole_sapida #plnustudyabroad #plnu #officeofglobalstudies #saiprograms #montecarlo #monaco #travel

After a day in Paris, we stayed late to watch the lighting of the Eiffel Tower! It was so magical and totally worth the wait! ✨
after a week of travel through holland and germany, I’ve finally made it to my home for the next three months!
happy to report that the views are even more breathtaking in person than in photos! 🇦🇹 // @katelinstarck

So sad to say goodbye to the wonderful city and University of Oxford. I have enjoyed my time studying abroad so much and am so grateful for everything I’ve been able to experience here and everyone I’ve had the privilege to meet and become friends with! My classes were beyond amazing and I had so many field trip opportunities too. I’m sad to go but excited to see where else the world takes me.

#studyabroad #plnuabroad #plnustudyabroad #oxford #london #bodleianlibrary #oxforduniversity #oxford @jess1e.t @plnuI had to make a post for the Books! Between the Bodleian Libraries, Blackwells Bookstore, and coffee shops with book collections, I have been surrounded by so many wonderful worlds of words!
#plnustudyabroad #oxford #books #studyabroad #plnuHey hey hey !!! Jessie here with an update on my first weekend in Oxford! We were given a tour of the SCIO offices and classrooms located in Wycliff Hall—built in 1877—where us students will be during the week for our class sessions. We then walked through Oxford city center and got to see the popular Oxford landmark, The Bridge of Sighs (officially called Hertford Bridge), along with the majestic buildings of Radcliffe square, the most notable being the beautiful Radcliffe Camera, built between 1737 and 1749. All the buildings and streets are gorgeous and historically engaging. This city has so much to offer and I can’t wait to keep exploring and sharing about my experience with y’all!
#plnu #plnustudyabroad #scio #oxfordscio #oxford @plnu @scio_oxfordWe are on our last full day in London, and are heading to Paris tomorrow in the late morning. We have had a super rad time so far! Some highlights include getting to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, a tour of The Wesley House, and much more. I’ve gotten to meet a bunch of super friendly locals that have given me recommendations, as well their story. Sad to leave London, but excited to see what the future holds!
Port #10: Portugal!! during my time in this beautiful country we walked all over the city of Lisbon, went to an Easter church service, visited the aquarium, did a pastry baking class where we made the local delicacy “pastel de nata” and went to a Fado show! one of our 5 days here I was able to visit the town of Sintra where I saw Pena Palace, this town looked straight out of a fairytale. This was by far one of my favorite ports that I have been to with Semester at Sea!!!🇵🇹❣️@gaby.rozendal
Currently sitting in London Heathrow Airport, thinking about my time abroad. I met some of my best friends in Liverpool, and made so many amazing memories that I know I’ll cherish forever. I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity, and i hope you all think about taking a semester abroad... it’ll really change your life too!

EXPECTATION VS. REALITY... let’s be real here, traveling is HARD! while you’re having the time of your life, it’s both physically and emotionally taxing; throw papers, homework, and tests into the mix and you’re running around like a chicken with its head cut off. this holiday weekend has been one of my most difficult times abroad. missing home while trying to soak up every last bit of this experience is challenging. I think with studying abroad, I’ve been putting on a brave face trying to show you all how amazing this experience is, and it is truly amazing, BUT I think it’s about time I embrace the homesickness that comes along with it. yes, homesickness is real. yes, that’s perfectly ok. and yes, sometimes I spend all weekend in my pjs 🦋 // @nicole_sapida #plnu #plnustudyabroad #officeofglobalstudies #saiprograms #london #england #nottinghill #rome #italy #travel
this weekend, I checked off one of my top study abroad bucket list destinations and experienced the beauty of Hallstatt, Austria!

#plnustudyabroad #plnuabroad #plnu #aifsstudyabroad #aifsabroad #abroad #travel #studyabroadRome makes having a sweet tooth way too easy! after chocolate soufflé, tiramisu is my favorite after dinner treat. although it’s not hard to find in the city of Rome, some places are better than others! •

•
for a more cakey tiramisu, be sure to check out Mr. 100 Tiramisu (close to the famous Piazza Navona). with 100 different flavors, Mr. 100 Tiramisu will fulfill your tiramisu needs. I had the hazelnut and nutella! •
•
if you like a more pudding type tiramisu (as pictured), Tiramisu Trastevere (right by my school’s campus!!) should be right up your alley. in the top left hand corner is their oreo and nutella flavor, the right hand corner is the pan di stelle nutella, and in the middle (mine) is the traditional. •

if you’re not sure what you like, or you haven’t tried tiramisu before, the world is your oyster. why not try both! 🦋 // @nicole_sapida #plnu #plnustudyabroad #officeofglobalstudies #saiprograms #rome #italy #trastevere #tiramisuain’t no party like a Loma party!

my program took a day trip today to the Hohenwerfen Castle, built all the way back between the years 1075 & 1078!! included was a mind blowing falconry show, a sword fighting demonstration, a guided tour of the whole castle, and of course the stunning views from the bell tower which overlook the market town of Werfen! - @katelinstarck
#plnustudyabroad #plnu #plnuabroad #aifs #aifsabroad #studyabroad #salzburgWent to a wonderful English Tea Time @thealiceoxford! We had sandwiches, scones, and sweets. Oxford is such a nice little city with so much to do, I don’t want to leave :(
- Jessie
#plnu #plnustudyabroad #teatime #oxford #thealiceYesterday’s adventures included a trip to London! There I saw St. Paul’s cathedral and went to a play at Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. In between, my roomate and I stopped for coffee, had fun trying (and sometimes failing) to figure out the underground trains, and checked out the Tate Modern museum of Art, which had such an incredible amount of engaging work. We finished off our long day with some hearty food before heading back to Oxford!

My name is Jessie and I am the current mobile journalist for plnu’s study abroad account. I am a senior writing major and am finishing up my undergraduate credits in Oxford this summer! I just flew into London yesterday and have slowly been getting situated at the student housing location
called “The Vines”, it’s a Victorian Villa built in the 1890s and is about a 10 minute bike ride to Oxford city center. Today we explored the local town, Headington, to get groceries and coffee. I’m loving all the sights and experiences here already! #plnustudyabroad

We are super stoked to see what else London has in stock!

Our class visited Stonehenge, and I had such a blast learning about the history of this amazing monument! There’s a lot of questions about how it was built so long ago, a lot of historians think it was used for healing or as a pilgrimage destination. #plnu #plnuabroad #plnustudyabroad #stonehenge

Today we toured Salisbury Cathedral where we were able to take a tour all the way up to the spire! It was so incredible to learn about the history behind such a grand building (and lots of stairs). We also got to check out the cathedral’s very own copy of the Magna Carta.
-Jessie
#plnustudyabroad #plnu #oxford #salisbury #salisburycathedral #studyabroadHi all, it’s Jessie with more updates from Oxford!
Here’s a highlight reel of pictures from a field trip we took yesterday. We walked through amazing countryside hills to explore historical churches and ruins.
#plnustudyabroad #plnu #oxford @plnu @scio_oxfordOur last stop was Vienna! What an awesome city. The amount of rich history this city holds is amazing. We were able to visit multiple art museums again—my all time favorite being the MAK museum (a museum based on design and architecture). We also were able to see many famous historical sites pertaining to music, such as Beethoven’s house. Vienna was a rad experience! It was what I imagined for the history aspect, however really surprised me with how accommodating and progressive the city was!
it’s been a little over a week since I finished semester at sea and disembarked the mv world odyssey! to say this study abroad program changed my life is an understatement! Doing semester at sea changed me as a person and I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to do this! in the past 4 months I visited 11 countries and 24 cities all while traveling the world on a cruise ship! I made many life long friends and memories that I will cherish forever! if you able study abroad with semester at sea I would highly recommend it because it will change your life just as it did mine!!🛳️🛟⚓️💙#voyage131 @gaby.rozendal
ROME➡️PARIS!!!! Paris was a dream (and only a 70€ Wizz air flight away). Some highlights from my weekend in Paris— 1️⃣The Eiffel Tower of course, we had a picnic and got to watch it twinkle 2️⃣the crepes and croissants are truly unmatched. 3️⃣ this authentic French cafe that gave me local Parisian vibes 4️⃣the artwork, we went to three different museums while there - one of which being the Louvre of course and saw some of the most famous artworks ever made. 5️⃣our tour of the underground catacombs which house more than 6 million skeletons. All in all, I would definitely come back here but my heart is still in Rome . Au Revior—- @avery.bosco

happy fall break loma! first stop is ireland, and one of the key things I’ve learned since being abroad is the beauty in traveling LIGHT! 🎒
1. you don’t have to lug around an entire suitcase
2. you are forced to be thoughtful about what you pack
3. you save lots of money with all of the added baggage fees that can accumulate with smaller airlines! // @katelinstarck
#plnustudyabroad #plnuabroad #plnu #aifsabroad #aifs #ireland #travelTook a day trip to the Karlštejn Castle about 45 minutes outside of Prague this afternoon.

it’s not Sunset Cliffs, but it’ll do! this weekend in Abruzzo, the wild heart of Italy, was such a blast. for day two of our excursion, we traveled to Costa dei Trabocchi to enjoy a beach day, as well as lunch on a traditional wooden fishing pier. being in such a great place, with great food, and great people, who could complain? 🦋 // @nicole_sapida #plnustudyabroad #plnu #officeofglobalstudies #saiprograms #studyabroad #costadeitrabocchi #abruzzo #italy #travel

#plnustudyabroad #plnuabroad #plnu #aifsabroadWonderful rainy day in London! A group from my program and I explored Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and then ended with seeing Heathers on West End!

#plnustudyabroad #plnu #london #bigben #heathers #westendIn my Gothic Literature class we are learning all about how space, perspective, size, and the sublime, all connect to the human condition.

#plnustudyabroad #plnu #oxford @scio_oxfordWe have arrived in Venice! We took a train from Paris to Milan, and then from Milan to Venice. It was quite a long travel day, about 10 hours. So far we have been able to see the musical instrument museum of Venice, La Fenice Opera House, and are about to see Architecture Biennale (an architecture museum). This evening we are seeing a live performance of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”. The three cities have all been so different! Venice seems the most “tourist friendly”, however.
One last goodbye from one of my favorite places in the world. So glad to have called Barcelona my home for the past four months. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. -Ben
One last post from Jack Aby here reflecting on my ISA Glasgow experience. These photos are of my room, residence hall, the University of Glasgow, and one of my classrooms. This semester has been an incredible life learning experience: Just living in another country has allowed me to reflect on so much. I got to experience a large public university at the University of Glasgow, and interestingly found myself coming to a much deeper appreciation of faith here. But there were times I was laying on the floor in my room questioning it all or wondering why in the world I came to Glasgow. If you notice that photo of my shared kitchen, it has no windows, and it was against the rules to prop the door open-- the combo leading to poor air quality. I was not fully enrolled onto all my courses until the 2nd week of the semester, and at that point I found myself in a class that was out of my level and which had few resources for me to catch up. But this semester I learned so much from people who would probably appear in my life for just a short time. I grew in love for public transit and gained an even greater desire for exploring new places and cultures. Above those things I gained a much greater appreciation for friends, whether those abroad or those back home... I have to admit, considering also the $5000 surcharge, I wouldn't be quick to recommend this program to others. But I believe that just committing to study abroad is taking advantage of an amazing opportunity. -Jack
hey loma 🌟 I’m finally settling back in CA and boy does it feel great to be home.

before studying abroad, it’s easy to only think ahead to all the times you’ll be gone adventuring on the weekends, and you forget about all the small moments in between!

going, going, gon-dola! sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun. Venice was charming in its own way with how intimate and close knit everything was. I loved how all the locals knew each other, it reminded me of Loma! I got to cross gondola ride off my travel bucket list and I cannot wait to go back 🦋 // @nicole_sapida #plnustudyabroad #plnu #officeofglobalstudies #saiprograms #venice #italy #travel

Study Abroad and the EAC
PLNU Study Abroad Office collaborates with the PLNU Educational Access Center (EAC) for accessibility in our programs; however, many partnership locations require advanced planning for specific students and their accommodation needs. We encourage students with disabilities to self-advocate, confer with the EAC and apply to Study Abroad with PLNU.
If you may require disability accommodation in the program application process and with study abroad program preferences, please express your need when prompted early in the process. We are here to help.
