Joey Horvath is in France

January 30, 2014

I am a junior majoring in communications and ever since I was very little it was a goal of mine to live in Europe. I have always had an obsession with European history and the way it dates back so much further than American history. So when I heard about St. Edward’s study abroad program in France I knew I had to take advantage. This semester I am living in Angers, France and studying at the Universite Catholique de l’Ouest to immerse myself in the French culture and become involved in the community. Follow me on all my adventures – bread, wine and cheese included.
