Oberlin Blogs

When I travel underground, I miss out on a lot of what's going on in Munich. That's part of why I decided not to buy another U-Bahn semester ticket and have instead devoted myself to biking. I haven't been biking around the city for too long, but I've already started seeing the city differently (and sweating a lot more).

Oberlin is a small place, but because I ended up there and followed where my academic interests led, I've gotten to see the world, or at least a small section of Central Europe.

I'm learning to speak Parisian, among other things.

I'm going to study abroad at the Paris Institute of Political Science (Sciences Po) in France.

The first post in my study abroad series. A bit later than intended, but still full of information about finding and applying to programs that interest you.

In which I reveal that I'm studying abroad next year (yes, for the whole year). Surprise?
