Sanibonani! My name is Toyin Green (@_t.green_12 ), and I am currently studying abroad in Durban, South Africa in SIT’s International Relations in the Global South program! I’m a junior triple majoring in Political Philosophy, Health Humanities, and Law, Society, and Policy, with a minor in Public Health.

I came to South Africa to learn more about the anti-apartheid movement, how social movements are sustained, and the contemporary issues in post-colonial societies. SIT: IR in the Global South is a unique program that immerses you in each part of society. Whether it’s the different homestays, speaking to key leaders and voices from the struggle (tune in for this lore fr), traveling across the country and to others, or the excursions, the program makes sure you gain a thorough understanding of the beauties and struggles of South Africa’s past, present, and future.

Come along for a takeover to see what a day studying abroad in South Africa is like. Trust me you won’t regret it - this program is unique compared to the others and you’ll get some advice and insight into the beauties of Durban and SIT.

Hola! 🇨🇱 ✨

My name is Juliana Rosa! I’m from San Juan, Puerto Rico and I’m a junior majoring in communication sciences & disorders (Speech-Language Pathology) in the College of Art & Sciences (@suartsciences & @syracusecsd )

I am currently studying abroad in Santiago, Chile (@syracuseusantiago). I came to Chile because I wanted to learn and experience other Latin American cultures and histories. The SU Santiago program is a close-knit and immersive program through which I have learned about many things, including the impact of the various dictatorships in South America. Additionally, through this program, I had the incredible opportunity to work with a local clinic, where I gained hands-on experience and insight into how Speech-Language Pathology is practiced in a different cultural and clinical context.

Come join me on my takeover to get a glimpse of what it’s like to study abroad in Chile—especially during my last week here! I’ll be sharing moments that made this experience unforgettable.

If you have any questions or want to learn more about studying abroad and/or the Santiago program feel free to reach out to me! @juliana.rosa22

Sup guys!

I’m Beckett Buchman, a Junior studying Business Management in @whitmanatsu and Information Management in @ischoolsu . I’m currently finishing my study abroad semester living among British people at Syracuse London Center and get to share with you guys my experience! @syracuselondon

I chose London because I wanted to experience Europe in a unique multicultural hub, producing an experience unlike anywhere. Getting to meet local Londoner’s while also speaking to people from all walks of life has been extremely unique and one of my largest highlights of the whole thing. I’m opened my eyes to other cultures and backgrounds and I’m happy to get to share a glimpse of that with you today. I got to take classes surrounding loads of different topics (multiculturalism, sustainable urbanism, Business of Art) and the professors and experience has been a great way to explore different areas then my major. I’m gonna be showing you around the area I’ve grown to love and help to hopefully show you why you should come. Feel free to ask me whatever!

Please tune in for my super sick #takeovertuesday

Cheers!

Hi! My name is Isabella Atalay and I am a senior s

Hi! My name is Isabella Atalay and I am a senior studying real estate and finance. Last spring, I studied abroad in Florence, Italy and it was truly one of the most transformative experiences of my college career. I chose to study in Florence for its rich history and art, and its central location, which made it easy to travel throughout Europe. @syracuseuflorence

From taking weekend trips to cities like Amsterdam and Istanbul to enjoying sunsets at Piazzale Michelangelo, every day abroad was unique and unforgettable. Some of my most valuable moments came from the unexpected ones, such as getting to know locals and navigating life in a different country.

I became a Global Ambassador because I wanted to help other students discover the exciting opportunities that come with studying abroad! #meetanambassadormonday

Hello!! My name is Sarah Vallejo, and I am a senio

Hello!! My name is Sarah Vallejo, and I am a senior studying Physics and Applied Math. I studied abroad in Summer 2024 in both Florence and London.

For today’s #flashbackfriday, I wanted to share some of my favorite views and places from my time abroad. While in Florence, I had the opportunity to visit so many beautiful nearby cities like Pisa and Venice. In Florence, I spent a lot of time exploring the many museums and trying to find the best view of the city everywhere I went.

In London, I took several day trips to see Bath, Stonehenge, and (my favorite) Windsor Castle. London’s royal history was so fascinating to me, and I loved touring as many palaces and castles I could or walking around Hyde Park and St. James’s Park to look at Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace respectively. On the weekends, I loved to sit in the parks and read or explore the many markets in London like the famous Portobello Road Market in Nottinghill.

I had never been to either place before my program, and I fell in love with both cities and cultures for their own unique reasons. They were both so welcoming, fascinating, and beautiful in different ways with plenty of history to keep me entertained for ages. I dream of going back to both cities as soon as I can, and I’m so happy to have spent my last summer in truly magical places. If you have any questions about Florence, London, or the summer programs and general, feel free to reach out to me @sarahvalllejo on Instagram!

I am an Environmental and Interior Design major with a minor in architecture studying in VPA’s school of design. @su_enviroandinterior @su_vpa
I chose Korea because of the incredible architecture classes offered here at Yonsei, such as Interior Architecture Studio 3, as well as Building Information Modeling and Design Media. These classes have allowed me to continue improving my software and design skills while abroad. In addition to this, I wanted to learn about the history of Korea through courses such as Modern and Historical Sites as well as Korean Art History, which have allowed me to visit incredible museums and sites here in Seoul.
I have so far loved my time here, the food is incredible, the people so kind, and the shopping is mind blowing.

My name is Lilyan Minicozzi and I am studying abroad in Florence Italy this semester.⚜️ @syracuseuflorence I am a junior studying Industrial and Interaction design in VPA’s School of Design. @su_schoolofdesign @su_vpa @su_industrialdesign

I chose Italy because of its ancient history of art and design as well as the abundance of artisan craftsmanship. Here I have had the chance to take many interesting classes such as Edible Histories, Italian Business and Craftsmanship, and my Italian Language course. These courses have allowed me to engage in hands on site visit such as leather wallet making, food and wine tastings, and cooking classes.

In addition to Florence, I have been able to explore many parts of Italy’s geography. From exploring the ocean on its Mediterranean coast to skiing’s and hiking the breathtaking mountain regions of the Alps/Dolomites there is so much nature and adventure to experience.

I am also currently living with a host family, which has been beautiful. In sharing daily routines, evening meals, and holiday traditions my home stay has allowed me to grasp a truly authentic Italian experience. 🍝🐈👨‍🍳🏡🍊

Join me today on my instagram takeover to see what life is like as a student living in Italy!

Hola!👋 My name is Reagan Cavanagh and I’m cur

Hola!👋 My name is Reagan Cavanagh and I’m currently a junior studying biology and psychology here at SU. This past fall, I had the unforgettable opportunity to study abroad in Madrid, Spain! 🇪🇸🤩

As someone who had never traveled to Europe, I chose to study abroad because I was truly interested in immersing myself in new cultures, learning in a completely new environment, and fully stepping outside my comfort zone! I chose Madrid because of the fascinating culture/lifestyle AND the opportunity to stay on track with my classes through the Health and Sciences program!

One of my favorite memories was easily kicking off the semester through signature seminar! Here we traveled down the coast of Spain exploring marine life and biodiversity. And we ended with becoming scuba diving certified! It was truly the most rewarding experience, and I made lifelong friends🤿🫶

Becoming a global ambassador was an easy choice for me (especially because I could talk about abroad for days). Going abroad and living in Madrid gave me the memories of a lifetime and I want others to experience just how special that time can be!!!🌎 if you’re thinking about going abroad DO IT, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Greetings and Happy Friday! My name is Josh Spode

Greetings and Happy Friday!

My name is Josh Spodek. I am a Senior studying History and Social Studies Education, with a minor in Atrocity Studies and Practices of Social Justice. I studied abroad at SU’s Faraday House in London, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 during the Spring 2023 semester.

On this #flashbackfriday, I wanted to share with you all about my solo hiking trip following the Seven Sisters Cliffs along the southern coast of England. What began as a pleasant walk along the Seaford beaches quickly changed into a 7-mile-long loop, where I navigated through horse- and sheep-filled pastures, dense forests, and eventually, the iconic, seven sheer white cliffs that make this a must-see landmark when in southern England. While the hike did take me most of the day, the breath-taking views of the lush, green countryside, the sunset over the calm waters of the English Channel, and the fresh Seaford fish and chips I ate afterward made this expedition well-worth the trip. I highly recommend that anyone who travels abroad (especially at SU’s Faraday House in London) make the hour train ride south to see this spectacular feature of England’s natural landscape! 🌅

If you have any questions about studying abroad in general, my experiences in London, or anything related to travel, please feel free to DM me on Instagram @joshspodek. #flashbackfriday #globalambassador #londonuk

Dobre den (good day) my name is Cade Verrico and I am a 3rd year film student in @su_vpa . I am currently studying abroad at the CET FAMU film program. It’s an amazing but highly intensive program where you get to make your own film on analogue film!!!🎥 the program includes a few trips but overall it’s about focusing on making your film here in the wonderful city of Prague. If you are very serious about film this is the program for you because unlike a traditional study abroad program you will have often have meetings on the weekends and very little time to travel. Tune in today as I (@cade_verrico) take you around what a day in a life is like here in the wonderful city of Prague!!!

Hi everyone! It’s Sarah Schreiber and I’m a ju

Hi everyone! It’s Sarah Schreiber and I’m a junior studying international relations and environment, sustainability, and policy at Cuse. For today’s #flashbackfriday, I wanted to reflect on the horse trek I went on last summer during my study abroad in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan with @srasorg. If your feed is anything like mine, it has shown you a lot of videos recently about going on a horse trek in Central Asia recently. I’m here to say it is just as cool as it looks.

For 3 days, I rode with a group of 7 peers through the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan without internet (or pretty much any modern comforts). We tent camped, learned about local legends and lifestyle, ate great sandwiches, talked by the fire at night, and took in the expansive, untouched beauty. Looking back now, it is my favorite trip that I took while in Kyrgyzstan and I cannot wait to go again some day!

If you’re curious about this experience or any others I had throughout Central Asia (or my first program in Florence), feel free to DM me @_sarahs__adventures. I love talking all things study abroad and I hope you consider going on a horse trek in Central Asia!
