Hi, I’m Federica, and this summer I did a variety of activities in Italy, United States and Switzerland. One of the main experiences of the summer was partaking in a three week Genetics and Human Behaviour course at Brown University, in Rhode Island (USA).

What brought me to Brown was both a sociocultural and cognitive influence. My grandparents live nearby, and my grandma’s uncles and brother went there. Additionally, it is an Ivy League College, and in society holds a high standard. These influences are sociocultural because other people or societal standards themselves are shaping my view and my decisions.

Meanwhile, last year I visited the university for a tour and really enjoyed the campus and atmosphere, and the array of courses offered. This perspective was influenced by my own ideas and likings, and therefor was a cognitive influence.

Overall, this decisions led to an amazing experience which I will never forget.
