She also found studying abroad was a great way to develop her confidence and networking skills, and she has returned to the King\u2019s with new knowledge in the mix of fields she studied, including history, politics, and public policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:100,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">In her downtime, Sophie took full advantage of North Carolina\u2019s location on the East Coast and took trips to, among <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">other places, Washington\u00a0 D.C and New Orleans, exploring everything the cities had to of<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">fer, including sights, museums, and cuisines!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:100,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">She also spent plenty of time on the beautiful campus, where she found UNC\u2019s campus life to be incredible, and felt a real sense of community, especially during the university\u2019s sporting events.
