Favorite Experience: Living in the city of with my host family, within walking distance of parks, restaurants, shops, the beach, and important cultural institutions was so much fun. I explored the city with my friends during our downtime and came to love the sights, smells, and energy of Tunis.
New/Exciting Course Abroad: I loved my course about Immigration, Politics, and Religion in the Euro-Mediterranean Space. Being able to study immigration throughout the Mediterranean both from the Tunisian and European perspective was fascinating, but the best part was learning from local community leaders who work on integration efforts for migrants in Palermo.
