My first few weeks in France have been full of meeting new friends and diving into student life at EM Strasbourg! Fueling up before class involves a double espresso (or three) and, of course, Pain au Chocolat. Students at the business school are extremely welcoming and love showing newcomers around their city. While academics are prioritized, university in Strasbourg involves many coffee breaks and plenty of time to recharge and pursue extracurricular activities. When visiting Strasbourg, there is no better introduction to the city than taking a walk through Petite France to experience the beautiful architecture, views of the river, and the local cuisine. Weekends are the perfect time to catch a Strasbourg RC football match with friends. Don’t worry – anyone in the stands is more than happy to teach you one of the various chants they use to cheer on the team. My exchange semester in Strasbourg is off to a wonderful start, and I can’t wait to see what the next few months have in store!
