Coming to
Luxembourg, I was not sure what to expect in regards to how the classes would
work. I had heard from other students about the structure of the courses we’d
take, but I was still nervous. My biggest concern was whether or not our
professors would assign a lot of work outside of the classroom that would cut
into our time in Luxembourg.
Digital
marketing was a great class and Professor Micu helped make Luxembourg a great
experience. I love that our class project is a blog, since it allows us to relate the subject matter of the class to our time abroad. Not only did we learn the basics of digital marketing, but also the
class was pleasant to sit through. However, I accidentally fell asleep during our
second class when I was still very jet lagged... At one time or another, everyone
fell asleep in either class or corporate visits because we were so exhausted. To this day, I feel so bad
for falling asleep in class though (Sorry Professor Micu!).
On the
other hand, the religion class offered was absolutely awful. Our professor was
not ideal for the class, and he managed to make our trips to different
religious places boring. The class had great potential to be interesting, but I
was sadly disappointed.
The places
we visited for these classes were amazing though. From Bofferding to Skype to the
Cathedral in Metz, France, each place was interesting and informative in its
own way. These trips were so much fun and so fascinating. It was great to get
out of the classroom and go on trips to related companies and religious sites.
Ultimately,
I loved the study abroad experience and the classes I took. They were unconventional
classes in a sense but that made me love them even more, and I wouldn’t change
a thing about the experience I had.
