Study Abroad

Hi everyone! My name is Noelle Ehresman and I will be taking over for the next two days! I’m a junior on the premed track majoring in health and exercise science with minors in biology and chemistry. Currently, I’m studying abroad in Stockholm, Sweden through the DIS program.

I chose DIS Stockholm because of its unique location and the courses the program had to offer. Additionally, it’s not strictly a Wake program, so I’ve gotten to meet students at institutions across the US!

A highlight from my core course (Precision Medicine) is the Medical Simulation Lab I get to take alongside it. During lab, I learn and practice clinical skills I wouldn’t have the chance to do until later in my education. In addition to this, every week we go to Karolinska Institutet for lectures given by a radiology resident from their hospital.
Fun Fact: Karolinska Institutet is where the Nobel Prize in Medicine is awarded every year!

Follow along for a better look at Stockholm this week 🙂

Cheers to Haozhen’s experience studying at the Worrell House in London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

“A city of pubs, tubes, and Victorian buildings, London gave me the best memories in my college life! I enjoyed our weekly run to our nearest pub, Steele’s, to socialize with the locals through fun events such as pop-quiz Thursdays; our history class trips to discover hidden secrets across the city; and running into Princess Royal Anne!

The Worrell House group’s incursions to Edinburgh made me discover my now-favorite city of all time in Scotland, and realize the beauty of the medieval architecture co-existing in the contemporary Scottish capital. These memories will always act as a motivation for me to travel more across different parts of the world.”

Part 2 with Aniyah! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

“The city of London itself also offers tons of opportunities and experiences over the summer that make it easy to stay busy and truly immerse myself into London’s culture, from attending the annual Royal Ascot horse races right outside of the city and experiencing a traditional high tea with my friends in SoHo to shopping around Portobello Market in Nottinghill, trying a bunch of different foods at Borough Market, and having the options to attend a Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift concert! I left London feeling like a true native—especially in my ability to navigate all of London’s transportation systems.”

Part 1 of Aniyah’s experience in London! 🌟

“I never knew studying abroad after the first year was an option for Wake Forest students—given the unspoken ‘time’ to study abroad is during the fall of your junior year—until I joined Chi Omega, and a few of the sophomore girls at the time mentioned this opportunity at the London School of Economics. The summer academic offerings are extensive (I took statistics) and are an excellent fit for all majors, and you can even fulfill some divisional requirements. The school provides many opportunities and experiences dedicated to student enrichment, from networking events to workshops, workout classes, and other social events; endless possibilities are available.

Being around other students I had previously known in my grade made me feel very comfortable studying abroad for the first time—excellent preparation for when I study abroad next fall for an entire semester; it gave me the confidence to fully participate in and experience the city both within and outside the school’s opportunities, and in-turn exposed me to myriad opportunities and experiences that I would not have found on my own. I reunited with some of my best friends over the summer from school, and I met and got closer to new friends that I can now easily stay connected with back on campus.”
