One place in Paris everyone should visit

The Rodin Museum. It is home to masterpieces like "the Thinker" and "the Kiss" and the sculpture garden is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the city.

My “Global Explorer” moment

As an undergraduate Art History major, I studied abroad in Orvieto, Italy. Nestled between Florence and Rome, it's a fairy-tale Italian Hill town with layers of Etruscan, Renaissance, and modern art and culture. I first recognized the transformative power of studying "in situ" there, and since I have continued to explore places like Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

 

Favorite thing about AUP

The curiosity of the students and interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum.
