Austin
Friday, 20 August 2010Lisa Gerard gives us her views and advice on going to Austin, Texas, for the year abroad.
Oh, Austin, where do I begin? Austin is a fantastic city; it’s growing too quickly, becoming a little too popular, but it's all part of the charm. It has dedicated, passionate residents ranging from students to artists to businessmen. An anomaly within Texas, Austin is extremely liberal, free-spirited, and a hotbed for innovative thinkers and businesses.Published in USA -

Dallas
Friday, 20 August 2010Lisa Gerard gives us her interpretation on homely Dallas, Texas...
It's home (well, quite literally, for me at least)...Most of Dallas and its surrounding suburbs are mainly residential areas, making it a less appealing choice as an exchange destination, understandably. However, with universities like Southern Methodist University and University of North Texas (a great music school), you can pursue a strict academic curriculum along with plenty of laid-back, enthusiastic, and culturally involved students in intimately sized classes implemented not only to ease one’s transition into “college life” but also to create a more cohesive student body.Published in USA -
USA
Thursday, 19 August 2010Big. Bold. Brash. Beguiling. There is no place like it, having attracted immigrants way back when. More than 9 million km² of land, spreading itself wide across the Western Hemisphere, this is the big Daddy of many fields; economy, territory, politics, culture and well, Maccy D’s.Published in Content -
