Kenyon-Exeter: Year in Review by Kate Lindsay and Jenna Nobbs

By Kate Lindsay on June 5, 2014

So, after all these posts, are you interested? I hope I've managed to make clear how valuable a study abroad experience is--the hard part is figuring out which one is right for you. In order to present the Kenyon Exeter program as broadly as possible, Jenna Nobbs '15, another member of the program, has also contributed a piece about her experience.

I think the differences in our experiences are valuable, and I hope you take the time to read both sides as you work towards a decision.

I just returned from a three-week bender in Europe, and tried to document it as best as I could. Here's a taster of what I got up to. Now it's just time to hunker down and write before jetting off to Scotland in a week.

It was a lot of fun, and something refreshing amidst this cloud of essays and stress. I start traveling soon, but for now, here's a little something to stave off homesickness for the next few months!
