LGBTQ Word of the week: “Differente” or “Different” L: Lesbian G: Gay B: Bisexual T: Transgender Q: Queer In a country where religion is historically written into the constitution, I feel this was a relevant topic for the week.

When I had the meeting with the Study Abroad Department before I left for Singapore, they told me that everyone will probably face a roller coaster. This roller coaster was an emotional one of course, but I didn’t really believe them. I thought I would be nervous yes, but I didn’t think I would be ...
Word of the week: “Equalidad“ or Equality. Today marks the end of the 10th week of the Drexel school quarter.
