Kaytlin | USAC Semester
See what Kaytlin did while Abroad!
Kaytlin spent spring semester in Verona, Italy, located in northern Italy by Venice and not too far from the dolomites. This photo was her first photo taken while in Europe!
"Studying abroad was a nerve racking, but exciting experience. Part of me was a little hesitant to leave my life back home, but I am so glad I took the leap. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my time abroad!"
Scroll through Kaytlin’s page to see some of her highlights!

Men’s Fashion Week in Milan, Italy
Kaytlin visited Milan, Italy on her first weekend away at the end of January during men’s fashion week. She is pictured with her friends from her USAC program in front of the Duomo in Milan, Italy.
Castles in London
Kaytlin and her roommate, that she met at NDSU, went to London, England for a week to sightsee. Her roommate, a big fan of Princess Diana, planned many Castle tours for the girls. Here Kaytlin and her roommate are pictures in the church where Princess Kate and Prince William got married.
Easter in Malta
“Over Easter break a big group of us girls went to Malta for a few days. My favorite part was spending the day on a yacht and drinking out of the pineapples!”

Lifelong Friends
Kaytlin met people from all over the United States in her USAC program that she lived and travelled with, in addition to the many locals all over Europe she connected with.
Pictured is Kaytlin’s close friends she made from her program that she travelled almost every weekend with.
“There were about 50 Americans in my USAC program, and I got the privilege to know each of them. I formed long lasting friendships with many of the locals I met in Europe in addition to these girls I travelled almost every weekend. They became my family.”
Rafting in Verona
During the last week of her program, Kaytlin went whitewater rafting down the river that runs through Verona, with her friends from the USAC program.
Pictured here is Kaytlin and her friends rafting down the river right outside of her apartment window.
Birthday in the Amalfi Coast
“For my birthday, my mom came to visit me. We spent a week in the Amalfi Coast, ferrying to each town and spending a few nights in Capri. The coolest part of Capri was the blue grotto!”

Hiking in Cinque Terre
Kaytlin and two of her friends took the train to Cinque Terre after their program ended where they enjoyed the beaches and hiked between the five towns.
“The hike between the five towns was more difficult than I expected, but well worth the views and swimming in the ocean after!”
Farewell in Sicily
Her last stop before heading back to the United States was in Taormina, Sicily. Her cousin flew to Sicily after finishing her classes in the states and met Kaytlin for a week on the beaches of Sicily. Here, Kaytlin and her cousin are on one of the lookouts in Taormina and next to is the beach they visited.
