Why did you choose this study abroad program? I chose to study abroad at the Kylemore Abbey in Ireland to enhance and develop my creative writing skills. I would like to be an author in the future, and even write a creative thesis my senior year, so taking four weeks this summer to focus on my craft through a writing intensive just made sense. I am so excited to spend intentional time on developing my skills and pursuing my professional goals!
