Angela Zhu	The first month in London! Posted: 14 weeks 6 days ago Hello! I’m Angela, and I’m a Course 20 junior who is studying at University College London (UCL) for my spring semester. I’ll start by recounting how I got here in the first place- I’ve always wanted to do study abroad, even before I came to MIT. There are organized study abroad programs that MIT offers, such as CME and MIT-Madrid, but none of them fit what I was looking for. I originally considered CME, but it was complicated by the fact that my department (course 20) did not participate. Read more...
C.J. Enloe	One month to go! Posted: 1 year 2 days ago As my friends back at MIT have just finished up their exams and are now getting ready for summer jobs and internships, I'm finding it hard to believe that I still have an entire month left here in Spain. At the same time, when I stop and think about it, I can also hardly believe that I only have one more month left here. I'll be taking my final exams during the first three weeks of June, and as I'm heading into the last "real" week of school I'm realizing just how fast this semester has flown by. Read more...

Jonathan Abbott	Hardening Off and Blooming Abroad Posted: 7 weeks 3 days ago Study abroad is important since it is like what hardening off is to a plant. Hardening off is when you take a young plant and you put it outside where the environment is vastly different. The result is that young plant gets stronger and more resilient, but at first hardening off is hard. Let me walk through this analogy a little more. Read more...
Sameer Deshpande	Exam Term - 18 May 2012 Posted: 1 year 2 days ago It's just about getting to the end of the third week of term here at Cambridge and exams are just over two weeks away. For the third year maths students, there are no lectures in the Easter term. When I first found out about this, I was somewhat skeptical about spending an entire term just studying. I had thought that it was going to be agonizingly boring for the first few weeks and full of stressful cramming for the last two weeks leading into exams. Read more...
