Istanbul Direct Enrollment - Sabanci University

7 May 2015

This vlog is a short account of my incredible trip to Belgium to visit my cousin Heather and her family. My friend Emma from IES Abroad Milan joined me and we had an awesome time!

Meet Naomi

I am originally from beautiful Boulder, Colorado, but I am currently a junior at the University of Rochester double-majoring in Film and Honors Anthropology. While growing up, I lived in Shanghai for three years, but I have never been to anywhere in the Middle East before - a fact which I am very much looking forward to changing. I love exploring different cultures, making movies, eating delicious food, and being outside. While in Istanbul, I intend to extensively taste-test Turkish food, delve into the city and culture, and learn what it is like to go to a local university. I honestly have no idea what my future job will be, but I am passionate about eliminating institutional discrimination and hope to one day change the world for the better in some way.

The Best of Both Worlds

by Naomi

There is so much I haven’t written about, crucial parts of my time in Vienna. Grocery shopping several times a week, walking through the park in Margareten to go to the train station, biking for free because Vienna public services are amazing, and of course, classes.

Making Chinese Friends in Shanghai

by Lexi

Before coming to China I was excited to meet new people on my program, and I was also excited to make local Chinese friends. I was looking forward to attending courses at a local university, expanding my comfort zone, and forcing myself to practice my Chinese.

Give My Regards to the West End

by Tori

Last week before my Literature and Place class, our instructor asked us what we were going to miss about London, and it really started sinking in that I’m leaving in less than two weeks.
