Well it’s already the end of January here in Strasbourg, and I absolutely cannot believe that a month has gone by! These past four weeks have passed so quickly, but France has already found a special place within my heart in such a short span of time.
For starters, it’s absolutely beautiful here. Strasbourg is a city rich in culture and full of history, lovely architecture, and wonderful people. I was a bit hesitant coming to France without knowing any french what so ever, but the people here are very patient and you can pick up simple phrases that are useful fairly quickly!
Classes here are great as well! The schedule is extremely different from A&M with my shortest course lasting 2 hours each time it meets and the longest lasting 4, some which I only have once a week. However, I already completed one of my courses within the first week of school! It was an intensive course, so we had it for about to 7 hours a day from Tuesday through Friday the first week, but then we were finished with it! My other classes have interesting schedules as well, with some not even starting until March!
Another great thing about EM Strasbourg is the emphasis they put on making sure that the international students are given multiple opportunities to meet other students within the business school the first couple of weeks that they’re here, which is great! I’ve already made so many wonderful new friends from all over the world and have loved getting to know them in the?past few weeks.
Well that’s all for now, but I can’t wait to write all about what the next four weeks have to bring!
