“When I got there and got to learn about these areas, I found that Serbia is so rich in history and there were so many complex and dynamic issues to explore in depth such as identity, international relations, culture, and the Balkans region overall. I definitely recommend taking a semester in Belgrade, it will not only add another dimension to your academic and career interests but it will also shape it and be an experience that you will never forget. As a Black, Muslim, Woman from Somalia, I was worried that it would be hard to connect, but people were so kind, welcoming and open to sharing their lives and hearing about our lives in America. Being in Belgrade was also a great experience, the food is delicious, the prices were affordable and there are so many lovely coffee shops to go try out!”
