During this course I am learning the impact of Empire. We have travelled to a few cities in Europe to really get a feel for what the empire was like many many years ago. This study abroad class has taught me so much that I don't think the equivalent classroom course could ever compare. All the pictures and textbooks do not even begin to compete with the actual places we visited.
This trip is important for me because it is widening my understanding of Empire in the early days. So many things I have only just heard about let alone study. I am so glad I signed up for this course because the knowledge I have acquired on this trip is far greater than any knowledge I would have received for independent travel. The required readings really helped put my vision of Empire together.
