Kelley Lynskey, junior, had the opportunity to travel to Paris, and took it full heartedly. She went for two-weeks to study with 22 other students from Lynn University to study business marketing and luxury goods.
“The whole trip was a great memory and experience in itself,” Lynskey said. “It is very hard to point out one thing as being my best memory because I took away so many memories as well as friendships with different people who were also on the trip that I did not know before.”
Lynskey, along with many other students, had the experience of a lifetime. Traveling to Paris, learning of the culture and seeing the sights were just a small portion of their experience. Studying abroad may give a student a feeling of independence and a chance to meet new people. “When you have a chance to study abroad, take it. You never know if the opportunity will come around again,” she said.
Lynskey would definitely recommend traveling abroad to other students. “The experience is one I think everyone should have,” she said. “You take away so many memories and good times with people and doing different things. You meet so many new people and form friendships with others on the trip as well. You really get to see and learn so many new things also.It’s just a wonderful opportunity.”
Lynskey had a tough time choosing one particular experience that was her favorite of the trip, but finally she explained their trip to the Eiffel Tower. “The night we all went to the Eiffel Tower was a beautiful night, however it was very cold and windy,” she said. “But, we all got hot chocolate and went up to the top as soon as we got up it began to light up. It was so beautiful overlooking the whole city. The view was just amazing, all the lights and being able to overlook the whole city., that memory really sticks out to me in particular.”
“Traveling is important for one to experience, whether it’s national or international,” Lynskey said. “When you have a chance to study abroad, take it. You never know if the opportunity will come around again.”
