Hello everyone!
In this post, I will discuss the social life living in Nantes, as well as the travel I have been able to do living in Europe. Before departing for Nantes for the Student Exchange Program, one of my main concerns was leaving my friends back in the US and having to meet all new people from different countries when I arrived here. I am a very social person and looked forward to being around all new people, but it was definitely nerve racking.

Any student at the University of Manchester will agree that the school is incredibly international. In comparison to OSU, Manchester seems to emphasize group work and collaboration between students not just for presentations, but for essays as well. In just one of my classes, our group consisted of two British students, two Americans including myself, a French classmate, and two students from Ukraine. Several of my classes emphasized not just learning how to work in a group, but also learning how to learn from each other.

Since my last post about my stay here at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland I have had so many new experiences worth talking about it’s hard to pick just one. In my last post, Irish students had just moved in, school activities were just starting, and classes were getting underway. My courses are not so different from my experience in the states; I have lectures and tutorials (smaller group recitations) each week for classes. The biggest difference is in the actual work for each course.

Danny and I went out to get some phone credit in Addis after having had a rather long day with client meetings and some sightseeing. We were requested to also bring back a piece of home if we could find some … Snickers!
