Bologna Blogs
BCSP 2012-2013:
Matt Glodz (Cornell University) is blissfully doing just what every study abroad student in Bologna wants to do, as Matt puts it: "...the last few weeks have pretty much consisted of going to class, studying, cooking, and exploring Bologna at night." A few of Matt's weekends are, of course, dedicated to travel throughout Italy. Last weekend he went to Naples; next weekend he's off to Torino for a Slow Food Festival. All of his (food) adventures are being colorfully documented through 'mouth-watering pictures', to quote the author. Warning: if you read the blog on an empty stomach, you should have a good Italian restaurant open downstairs or else your hunger will lead to a plane ticket's voracious purchase!
Adriana Golindano (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is a travel blogger. If you are looking for advice on what to see and what to do in Italy, check out where Adriana's been to: church-turned-pizzeria in Verona, castle Torrechiara just a bus ride away from Parma, people (and statue) watching in Florence's Piazza della Signoria, swing dancing in Bologna's Piazza Maggiore! While we can't wait to see where Adriana's future adventures will take her, we completely agree with what she wrote after only two weeks in Bologna: "My mom told me that I would fall in love during study abroad. She has no idea how right she was! Although I know she was teasing and speaking about a study abroad romance, I have truly fallen in love with this city. Everyone should visit Bologna, Italy. Seriously."

Augie Bossu (University of Notre Dame) captures the unique beauty and atmosphere of each city he visits in his blog: My Bologna has a first name... Allow Augie's words to lead your immagination's journey throughout Italy, and, if you've already been, you will want to return. If you've not yet made the trip, you'll want to follow in Augie's footsteps!
Sam Park (Indiana University), BCSP's official photographer for the Spring semester, lets his pictures say a thousand words about his experiences in Bologna.
Bernadette Myers (University of Kansas) has been dreaming of studying abroad in Bologna since she fell in love with Italian literature and Italian food. Now she will put her Italian language skills to the test while making Italy's renowned college town, otherwise known as the food capital of the world, her new home away from home.
Sarah Tolman (University of Wisconsin) blogs about her study abroad experiences: making new friends, eating good food, learning her third language, adventuring to new destinations, and more! The blog is entitled 'Just a Bunch of Bologna' but Sarah is serious about making the most of her year in Italy.
Brea Johnson (Indiana University) provides a panoramic view of Italian life in her weekly Friday column entitled ‘Bologna by Brea’ featured in the Indiana Daily Student.
