Czech Republic
Study Abroad Story
Emily Heimsoth - Anglo American University, Prague, Czech Republic
I studied abroad at the Anglo American University in Prague in Spring 2010. I am proud to say that this was the absolute best experience I have had in my entire life. Strangely enough, the best part of my experience was getting lost on a regular basis. My roommate Maggie and I left before the rest of our group for orientation our very first day. We were hoping simply to be able to find our school and have some lunch in the middle of town before our meeting started. We quickly discovered after riding the tram into town (illegally riding into town that is) that we were clueless.
From the Garden to the Ghetto
Colleen Whately - Anglo American University, Prague, Czech Republic
Prague is the largest city in the Czech Republic with 1.2 million people, and the Anglo-American College is in the heart of the city at one end of the Charles Bridge. During the beginning of the semester, the area near the school was always filled with people walking the tourist paths mapped out in travel books. On an extraordinarily sunny day I decided to wander around the city after class, in the opposite direction of the crowds. It was my chance to explore all that Prague has to offer.
