A week in Review October 5-11
As I do not have much to report this week as the students have been away on their mid-term break, I am posting this directly after meeting the students at our Family Meal this evening. With vacation-relaxed faces and big smiles, all the students managed to share a story or two about their travels over the past week. It seems that many of the students took the opportunity to explore continental Europe, specifically Italy, Spain or Ireland. It was great to hear their perspectives on places such as the Ponte Vecchio in Florence to their experiences during a private Black Taxi tour ride in Belfast. One student commented how it was amazing to see the statue Michelangelo’s masterpiece Renaissance sculpture, David. Others commented on how friendly the various culture’s were to them and overall how much they enjoyed traveling.
I leave you with some pictures from this evening’s Family Meal at the Prince Regent, a traditional British gastro pub around the corner from the student’s residence hall.
On another note, this Thanksgiving, we are working with the Prince Regent to host an American traditional Thanksgiving dinner for the Northeastern University community in London. NUin students, alumni, co-op students and other study abroad will have the opportunity to once again join together for this event. The NU Alumni website is already advertising this, as well as the Prince Regent. If your student is London during Thanksgiving, this will be their Family Meal for the week.
Until next time, have a great week!
