Dubrovnik, Croatia. Where do I start?!
This place is a hidden gem! It's exactly what you'd think of, let's say, Italy, but cleaner, prettier water, and less crowded! From the minute I stepped off the ship I saw houses on the side of the hill, the people are wonderful, the ocean is turquoise blue and you can see to the bottom, there are beautiful cliffs, etc. I’m finally feeling better (sick in Italy) and am ready to explore!

College Visit-American College of Management and Technology
ACMT is a sister school of Rochester School of Technology in Rochester, NY. Ana, who is in charge of admissions, marketing, and about four other things, gave us a presentation on how the school runs, similarities, differences, etc. It is a very small college of about 500, and only 14 staff members! Graduating students get an American and Croatian degree. It’s pretty neat! Anyone reading this still in undergrad should really think about studying abroad here!

A City Inside Castle Walls in Europe? No It Couldn't be!
Old Town is surrounded by castle walls and right on the coast. Each day I explored and found great things and beautiful views with my roommate Kristina and a few others. We made sure to get a few things:
Gelato, check!
