Harlaxton Adventures
Hello everyone!
I'm currently studying at UE's Harlaxton Manor in England! It's been a very exciting semester so far! Learning about the English culture has been a great adventure. Through school events, the Meet-A-Family program, and travels I've been able to see the culture first hand. This semester we've already held a Ceilidh (pronounced Kay-Lee) which is a night of tradition Celtic music and dance, an 80's night and costume party in the Bistro, and had some lessons in cricket and rugby.
Travel has been a huge part of my experience here at Harlaxton. Every week classes run Monday through Thursday, leaving weekends open for travel. Every weekend the school hosts a trip, whether it be a full three day trip or a day trip. There's also always the option of independent travel. I've already visited London, North Wales, Paris, Ireland, Stratford, Cambridge, and York. Tomorrow I leave on the school trip to Oxford, Bath and Stonehenge. It should be exciting to see such a range of places in one weekend.
We also take day long field trip for British Studies, a class all students studying at Harlaxton take. We've already visited Lincoln and the amazing Lincoln Cathedral and Belvoir Castle. Learning the British history is more interesting here where we actually go to see the Roman ruins and visit the cities we do presentations on then it ever could be in the States.
Here is a link to my facebook pictures from our arrival at the Manor! Feel free to add my if you would like to see more pictures from my travels or have any questions about Harlaxton or UE!
