Sorry it's taken me this long to get my blog started but I have been without internet for the past two-ish days in Maastricht. For some reason, my very green room does not have any access (the only such room in the place). I am staying at a beautiful castle run by hospitality students at a nearby college called Chateau Bethlehem. The cool thing is that each room in the hotel is totally different. There's a room with a full kitchen, a room that it covered in blackboards so you can write on the walls and a room with a swing and hammock in it. My friend from freshman year, David Clark, and I are staying in the aptly named "Green Room:"
This study abroad trip is through the School of Education and we are comparing and contrasting the Dutch, German and Belgian education systems to that of the US. After taking an education policy history class this past semester, I gained more of an appreciation for educational history and theory, so this trip intrigued me ... the location wasn't too bad either.
I am here with my fraternity brothers David Weiner, Dana Hansen and Tom Sless, as well as David Clark and Tom's friend Matt Ellis. Everyone on the trip seems to get along just fine and I've really enjoyed meeting everyone else here. Over the next two weeks, I will be in Maastrict, which is in the south of Holland, Paris this weekend, Aachen, Germany and Brussels.
I am going to make a different blog entry for each day, starting with Sunday the 6th. Hope you all enjoy!
