My favorite Purdue memory was my study abroad trip to Italy. Specifically, one night our group went on the rocks of the beach of Le Cinque Terre and had incredibly deep conversations about life, our aspirations, and experiences. I had only known these people for a couple of weeks, but I was amazed at the talent and quality of this group and enjoyed a calm night by the sea.
