Benjamin Saff: Belgium & Why You Should Visit
Ben in Belgium This past weekend, my friends and I stayed in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, over the weekend. We also were able to visit Bruges. This was a great experience for all of us. Before studying here, I had no plans to visit Belgium ever but I am so glad that I did. ...
Corrine Mcandrews: A Month Already
I am completely sick and it’s my flat mate’s fault. All the people living in the student accommodation are sick. It’s horrible, but thankfully I’m sick while living in a beautiful city. I have been trying to see the bright side of things. I have been trying to stay optimistic. It has been a struggle ...
Christopher Vito: Arrival in Bioko (Pt 2: Scavenger Hunt
On Sunday we were invited over to the Hilton Hotel on the island by a big time oil company executive whose company funds the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program. That was super nice and we got lots of free food and drinks at a pool, but it’s not really why I came to Africa so ...
Christopher Vito: Trip to the Beaches (Pt. 1: Chocolate)

Alexis Pozonsky: Adjusting….
Study abroad is the time of your life, right? The adventure of a lifetime, right?? It’s always going to be rainbows and butterflies, right!? Wrong. So, so wrong. Just as in life, studying abroad has its ups and downs, although when you’re in a foreign country, the variations tend to appear more intensely. After the ...
Christopher Vito: Arrival In Bioko (Pt 1)
I’ve been in Malabo, Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea for almost a week now. I’ve got to do two of these a week, but our internet has been pretty unreliable. Our router is a tiny little box that somehow magically connects to the internet via satellite – sometimes. It was out for the first few ...

Alexander Smith: Willkommen in Mannheim- Part 2
Welcome back to the continuation of my blog post about the arrival and enrollment process here in Mannheim!
