MOUNT BLANC

Each weekend, students have the opportunity to travel wherever they’d like. For the last weekend before independent travel, Harrison went for a snowy mountain getaway. This is what he’d had to say about it:

“Mont Blanc is da mountain
Courmayeur is da town”

✨ STUDENT SPOTLIGHT - MELISSA SANTJER ✨

Hi, my name is Melissa Santjer. I am a graduate student in my second year of the MArch1 program. I grew up on a horse farm in Chesapeake, Virginia. After high school, I moved to Harrisonburg, VA, with my horse, Remi, to complete my undergraduate at James Madison University. Trail riding and hiking are two of my favorite pastimes. After graduation, I knew I wanted to continue my education and become a licensed architect. Remi and I packed our bags to start our next adventure at Clemson University. Once at Clemson University, my boyfriend and I adopted our newest hiking buddy Binx. Though my little family couldn’t join me on my adventures in Genoa, I have loved my time here, making new friends and exploring Europe’s Architecture, culture, and nature.

My favorite part is being able to take off to explore somewhere new each weekend whether it’s taking a walk in Genoa, a day trip to a new city, or a over nighter in a new country. So far i’ve visited Portofino, Malta, Florence, Naples, Pompeii, Rome, Vatican City, Milan, Turin, Varenna, Menaggio, Bellagio, Lenno, and Como!
