Meet Madi, a Political Science and International Studies student who spent a semester abroad in Milan, Italy.

From enjoying Aperitivo with friends 🍹 to admiring Milan's stunning architecture 🏛️, Madi discovered that some of the most meaningful study abroad moments happen in everyday life.

During her semester at Sacred Heart Catholic University, Madi immersed herself in a new culture, built lasting friendships, and gained a broader perspective of the world around her. What started as a study abroad experience became an opportunity to slow down, embrace a different way of life, and create memories that will last a lifetime ✨
