First Day at Vesalius

Today we went to the orientation for the college where we will be taking an architecture course. Vesalius is an English-speaking international college with a student body around 300. Many are study abroad students, but many students attend full time. We met other American students from colleges all over the US, as well as students from Norway, Switzerland, and Morocco. The Vesalius campus itself is a little run-down, but we had a great time meeting all of the students. There are a couple meet-and-greet sessions scheduled this week, and I can not wait to meet more students!

We met our teacher, Madame Martine, and she is wonderful. She is probably 65 years old but has the energy of a 6-year-old. She told us with great excitement about the excursions we will take for the class: a four day trip to Paris, a weekend in Amsterdam, a day trip in Antwerp...I can't wait!
