For many people, studying abroad during their college career is a fulfilling experience. However, life has its tendency to get in the way, even across the sea.

“Molly Dunham, a senior studying management, strategic leadership and management information studied abroad in Swansea, Wales. Initially, none of Dunham’s international roommates spoke to each other much, until she noticed a hefty TV bill at the flat. “We were a bunch of kids who had no idea how the United Kingdom system works and one day received mail we would have to pay [a] $1,000 fine, which resulted in me having to knock on everyone’s door and bring everyone to the kitchen to talk about who was streaming live TV,” Dunham says.
