Nice is Nice by Reagan Kilpatrick

Hi! My name is Reagan, I am a Junior at the College of Charleston majoring in Marketing. This semester, I am studying in an exchange program at EDHEC Business School in Nice, France.

Studying Abroad: Embrace Even the Smallest Little Treasures by Jem Dahabi

We create this picture in our minds of the perfect adventure abroad, seeing the sights, meeting amazing new people, trying new things  (especially food) and maybe even rediscovering yourself. Being in Osaka Japan I’ve gotten to see many big tourist attractions like some major temples, the manga museum, dotonbori, and even doyamacho but some of my favorite things I’ve done so far have been the less extravagant.

University of New South Wales by Jack Oistad

The first thing I noticed about UNSW is how large it is compared to the College of Charleston. This explains a lot of key differences between these two schools. UNSW has tens of thousands of students on a primarily commuter campus, so there isn’t a strong sense of community you get from living on campus back home.
