The worldwide Augustana College experience
Life has been good. We’ve been able to do so much out here it’s unreal. Things I never thought I would that’s for sure. I guess that is what traveling and studying abroad are all about; experience and living.

It’s not every day that a grand slam tennis event is a quick flight away, so I definitely had to take advantage of the situation. I flew down to Melbourne on Friday and [...]

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly have any better days that what I have already had in Sydney, I was proven wrong.
