My name is Jimeace Bonaparte and I am a Sophomore at CofC. I am a Biology major and a Medical Humanities minor. For the 2021 fall semester, I am studying abroad at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England. I chose this university because I have always wanted to travel to the UK, so I didn’t want to miss out on a great opportunity. I also knew there wouldn’t be…

One of the things I pride myself on is the ability to get around everywhere. I would definitely say I have mastered the British train system as well as the Underground in London. I know exactly which line to take to get near which spot or get to another connection in London, although I do prefer to spend my time walking above! Sometimes I would need to pull my map…

There are so many good and bad things that happened; however, I cherish them all. Every day I would go to visit my friends at Cheer Jr. which is a small pub in Hirakata-Shi. The gentleman that owns Cheers Jr. also owns Ages…

Queen’s…
