... off. Each semester, even during the summer, Notre Dame students vacation abroad by studying abroad in locations that range from London to Perth, from Tokyo to Paris and all points in between. Not wanting to miss out on the chance to have an extended vacation in a foreign local, Stedsmen have joined their fellow students in securing their spot in a three month junket, as know as as study abroad program. One Stedsman joining his fellow ND students in studying abroad is, Steds junior and resident New Jerseyan, Andrew Sasso who is currently studying in the Eternal City, Rome. Rigorous and demanding classes and course work for sure, Sasso keeps a strict routine and busy schedule, but fortunate for us, we were able to have a quick check-in from him.
On studying abroad in Rome, Sasso disclosed, "Studying in Rome has been quite a different but phenomenal educational experience. As one of the most historic cities in the world, it’s common to pass a monument or two when walking around during the day. Walking past the Colosseum to my Wednesday class seems normal now, but I don’t take it for granted. Being in Italy, it’s only natural we took a trip for a wine tasting in the rolling hills and green vineyards of Tuscany. We got to taste a few different types of wines and pairings out in the sun, with some of, if not the most breathtaking views I’ve ever experienced. And the best part, it was all on ND’s dime!"
