“If you’re in Florence or Rome, use the company SmartTrips Europe to plan your trips! It makes weekend travel so easy and affordable, and the post-grad girls who lead the trips are super nice and sweet. It’s also a great way to meet other students in your study abroad city.” – a Zeta

“I visited Milan and you HAVE to go see a soccer game! The atmosphere is almost as good as a UT game.” – a Zeta

“Don’t take moments to yourself for granted. Even something as simple as walking to class—don’t get caught up in your phone. Take in every moment and soak up the culture and the views on every street.” – a Zeta

“Don’t take the historical sites in Rome for granted! It might seem lame to go on historical tours and visit the sites, but they’re SO interesting and totally worth it!” – a Zeta
