Social Media Misrepresents Study Abroad Experiences
From thecollegevoice.org
Having returned from my semester abroad in Belfast, Northern Ireland two months ago, I cannot help but notice the flood of pictures and videos on my Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram accounts from this semester’s group of students studying abroad. As my friends post images of the picturesque views of the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland or a wine and pizza night in Rome, I remember how I felt when I decided to study abroad: a yearning to travel all corners of the world.
