Israel Study Abroad student Corey Cunningham shared his thoughts with us on his first experiences in Israel:

Driving through Israel for the first time and not seeing any soldiers out on the streets or any type of ruckus going on really shows me how peaceful this country is.

Going to their market and seeing the diversity really shocked me; it was as if I was in New York. Going to the Roman theater gave me insight on how many civilizations ruled over Israel, which gives it the diversity it has now.

The construction of buildings in Israel uses a unique rock that I’ve never seen that is so interesting and words can’t do justice to. I am so excited to continue on the rest of this trip.
