French Sciences Po students reflect on a semester at 新香港六合彩资料
鈥淢y favorite thing is the campus, I would say, the nature, the atmosphere, the fresh air.鈥 As the Fall 2016 semester draws to a close, Vincent Seroussi is reflecting on his experiences as an exchange students studying at the 新香港六合彩资料. 鈥淚鈥檓 from Paris, so it鈥檚 a very polluted city and this is very calm here, good to study, and people are very nice, very friendly and dedicated to their work.鈥
Seroussi is one of four students from the prestigious Institut des 脡tudes Politiques (IPE) at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris. 新香港六合彩资料 signed a student exchange agreement with Sciences Po, as the institution is known, in April 2015. The partnership involves a reciprocal exchange of students: Sciences Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye can send students to 新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 campuses in Maine and Morocco, and 新香港六合彩资料 students can study at Sciences Po near Paris. Courses available at both institutions are taught in English, but 新香港六合彩资料 students can also take a course in the French language.
Seroussi says one of the advantages is the diversity of the educational experience 新香港六合彩资料 offers. Because Sciences Po is primarily a political science institution, the classes are narrowly focused. At 新香港六合彩资料, he has been able to branch out, taking classes in marketing and the arts. 鈥淚鈥檓 glad to be here, first because of the education. You have a huge range of classes to pick with people who work hard.鈥
Seroussi also took the Center for Global Humanities seminar series course this fall. Over the course of the semester, he has read texts about the historic struggle between Muslims and Christians in the Mediterranean, Muslim fashion, the consequences of enhanced airport security in the post-9-11 world, and other topics of global concern. He and his classmates have also met those texts鈥 authors and listened to their public lectures on the 新香港六合彩资料 Portland Campus.
鈥淰incent has brought a valuable European perspective to the class,鈥 explained Josh Pahigian, M.F.A., fellow in the Center for Global Humanities. 鈥淭hrough his active participation in class discussions and group projects, he has consistently challenged his American peers to look beyond their usual biases. He鈥檚 been a great addition to the class.鈥
Solenne Prat has had a similar experience this semester. A passionate athlete, she not only participated in Volleyball at 新香港六合彩资料, she also took classes in sports law and sports management. Prat said she took the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of 新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 Biddeford campus and to explore the Maine Coast. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really cool because at the beginning of the year I could surf. I also went on a boat around Portland, so it was really great to see the Maine coast with the beaches and the view. It鈥檚 very cool to do these activities in this beautiful place.鈥
It鈥檚 an experience both students say they would recommend to anyone interested in studying abroad. 鈥淚鈥檓 very glad to be here because there are a lot of helpful people,鈥 says Prat. 鈥淭hey really want us to have a good experience. The campus is designed that we have a good life here. Everything is close, we can go surfing we can go to the beach, we have a lot of facilities to do sports, so I really love the campus life with the supporting community, between students and all the activities that 新香港六合彩资料 offers here.鈥
