Greta Jusyte: Sciences Po Presentations
This week, I was finally inaugurated as a Sciences Po student as I had my first presentation of the semester. I think I wrote about this a few weeks earlier, but presentations are an integral part of the Sciences Po method. Each class requires presentations that are at least ten minutes long. In addition, most ...
Niacka Carty: Witnessing a Spanish Protest
It is commonly known that the right to protest is perceived as a human right. This blog post focuses on my experience witnessing this human right in another democratic country, Spain. For the first time in my life last week, I witnessed a protest. I have participated in a protest once before but never witnessed ...
Corrine Mcandrews: Music in Edinburgh
Music in Edinburgh seems to be of high importance and abundance, much more so than in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a large city with music festivals and events occurring frequently, but not so much daily. In Edinburgh, you can hear live music every single night. Street performers fill the Royal Mile and Princes Street during the ...
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. ...
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)
On Sunday, we took a trip to Arena Blanca, or the White Beaches, which is southeast relative to Malabo. Or at least that was our initial plan, before we woke up to torrential downpour.

Niacka Carty: More Observations
When I noticed that it is not customary for apartments in Madrid to have a dryer as well as a washer, I immediately thought of the South in the United States. An apartment in Madrid either has a washer in the kitchen or not. Summer in Madrid is dreadfully hot, which explains the lack of ...
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 ...
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 ...
