Hey guys! It's Marley :) I am one of the 21 students luck enough to partake in an incredible semester abroad in Santiago, Chile. We've only been at it for a week but it feels like we've been here forever (in a great way). So far we have spent time with our host families, gotten a bit more oriented in the city, taken a few classes on Chilean culture and language, went to orientation at the university we will be enrolled in, and explored 2 cities outside of Santiago: Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Our orientation has been filled with food, art, coffee, music, and anticipation for the things to come. Needless to say, I have fallen in love with this country and all of its soul.
