The “chata” trip (a Czech word that translates to cottage or cabin in English) had caught my attention even before my arrival in Prague. It was one of the only trips where everyone would be sharing a house together, sharing a home as a family. I was eager to make the most of the NYU-sponsored […]
Nicola Robinsonová lives in Vlčeves, Jihočeský Kraj, Czech Republic, about a 30-minute drive from Tábor. She and her husband run a farm there. Even though she had broken her leg in Greece a month earlier, she still insisted on hosting us. We spent the weekend volunteering on the farm. Although we only stayed […]
“I’m going to teach you how to eat raisins meditatively.” This was the sentence NYU Prague professor Tony Ackerman used to kick off our three day retreat in rural Czech Switzerland last month. Before I get into talking about raisins, meditation, and the trip itself though, I think I owe you a bit of context […]

Emily Tsao: Amsterdam, the Netherlands & Berlin, Germany For Spring Break, I decided to take a solo trip to Amsterdam and Berlin! My favorite thing in Amsterdam was the Rijksmuseum because of the Vermeer exhibit. I was able to snag a ticket about a month prior to my trip, and it really made the journey […]
Despite the hassle of securing a visa, and fear of missing out on the New York experience, studying away in Prague was the best decision I made. ~ Located in the heart of Old Town, NYU Prague looks and feels as though it is straight out of a postcard — literally. With its two main […]
Traveling is a huge part of the study abroad experience and NYU is here to help with the strain it may have on your wallet. In the first few weeks, they’ll send out a sign up sheet for trips across the Czech Republic. And it’s all free. Dinners, transportation, activities, and lodging are all included. […]
by Alice Berlin When I first got to Prague, I thought it was so cool that we were going to school in the city center and we got to live in a residential neighborhood, because I got to immerse myself in two different parts of the city. But what I learned this weekend […]
