Santa Fe College Study Abroad to Ukraine 2013
Santa Fe College is ambitious in becoming an international centre. Students are encouraged to explore, take study abroad, and engage in campus multi-cultural activities. I had the opportunity during my sophomore year to study international buisness abroad in Western Ukraine. Our experience took place in the city Drohobych, a place rich with 16th century antiquity and historical impacts of World War I. Through the course we gained knowledge in economics, polictical science, and history of Ukraine's development. A few highlights of our journey included trips to local businesses, museums, Ivan Franko's Home, the transcarpathian mountains, the Ballet Opera House in Liviv, Wine tasting at Bohaz, UNESCO's St. George Wooden Church, and a traditional Ukrainian wedding.
