Student Creates Instagram Account For Study Abroad at Local Community College

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS— On Monday, sophomore biomedical sciences major Elizabeth Rogers made her first post regarding her study abroad at San Antonio College (SAC).

As is common among students who study abroad, Rogers created an account specifically for her trip. Rogers described her experience in the rolling expanse of the 57th most diverse city in America as “breathtaking.”

“I feel so culturally aware now,” said Rogers, “this trip has really impacted my view of the world.”

While many have been supportive, some friends of Rogers feel caught off-guard. When compared to her original account, Rogers appears to be an entirely different person. The original account is defined by trips to Foundation Lounge and fraternity parties, while the study abroad account consists of historical landmarks and churches.

Members of the Rogers family have created Instagram accounts to follow along with her experience. “I am just so happy that our baby girl is getting to see the world so close to home,” said Joyce Rogers, Rogers’ mother.

Academically, Rogers is taking a country music class for her creative arts requirement and has even related what she is learning to her out-of-class experiences. One post shows a candid picture of Rogers, margarita in hand, walking along the River Walk with the caption “Just taking a ‘San Antonio Stroll.’”
