By Jillian Giannelli As we wander through the cobble stone streets of Italy with our teeth chattering and our lips turning blue, we can’t help but daydream about the fabulous-ness to come that is Easter Long Weekend. Bus2Alps knows exactly how you feel as we have been having the same fantasies. Laying on the black...Read More
You did it– you crossed the pond, you moved into your apartment (still can’t figure out why the washing machine is next to the sink…), and you picked up a few of those famous Italian scarves. You’re eating prosciutto for lunch, and asking for the vino rosso. You’ve realized that the bus will never be...Read More

The...Read More
Today is the first full day of the festival of lights, Chanukah (see also spelling Hanukah, Hannukah, and well 17 other ways).

For the first time this semester, my over-sized Yankee sweatshirt was a necessity, and the leaves were not quite a green as they were when we all arrived in August. Unfortunately,...Read More
Take the road less traveled, or shall I say visit the cities less traveled. Some great poet once wrote this, and it has been reproduced in every graduation speech and advice column you have ever heard or read. How could I resist not being cliche and adapting these same words to convey the importance of...Read More
This blog entry was written by Tony Ubertaccio. Making “Cents” of Changing Money…How to not get ripped on the exchange rates. By now I’m sure you’ve gotten a handle on the whole Euro vs. Dollar thing and the always challenging “How much should I withdraw?” dilemmas that every study abroad student encounters.

For college students, spring break is a time to kick back and relax during the day and of course party the night away! Sure enough this past week that’s what students did in Greece. Beach bumming, sun tanning, booze cruising, and toga partying were all apart of the festivities on Corfu. While hookah bars, walking...Read More
