Fot my 3rd and final blog post I would like to write about the study abroad fair I attended for my academic enrichment workshop.  I didn’t really know where to go at first since the signs on the booths were not very clear. It seemed as if they focused more on visually enticing you with graphic design and pictures of the locations around the school in an effort to get you to sign up with them rather than tell you exactly which booth was for what school or area. Luckily the reps themselves were helpful enough. So i started by simply going from one table to the next sequentially, talking to reps about their schools and where it is, but also the sorts of areas I was interested in. The reps were nice enough to, based on my preferences, point me in the direction of the schools that were situated in the areas I cared about. So I promptly headed to the booths for the the university of Paris, where I was introduced to some lovely french students from the UP who walked me through all the various attractions around the university. The rep himself was very helpful and informative, gave me plenty of info on the various programs available for Baruch students none of which unfortunately were open to first year student. But nonetheless he gave me plenty of pamphlets detail how I could join those programs and when, going through all the various requirements i would need to meet. It wasn’t until about half way through the conversation that he let it slip that he was actually originally from morocco the conversation promptly turned from about education to just a casual conversation in arabic about morocco, the cities we were from. Overall the fair was fairly successful I would say, and pretty enjoyable personally.
