Nothing in special. It would not have been so exciting if I had known in advance what I was about to learn and experience.

En mi opinión:

Me gustó pero no necesariamente a todo el mundo.

Recomendación personal

Juniata College is a small liberal arts college located in the middle of nowhere. There are only two or three bars and one cinema and the closest bigger town is ar 45 minutes by car. However, you could have the time of your life with your international friends (including US students of course!), getting to have very close relationships with them. They will become friends for life. Academically it offers you all the means you could dream about. Juniata has very nice traditions (mountain day, mud volleyball, etc) that will make you feel part of it progressively. After you graduate, Juniata will continue to be a part of your life.

If you do not want to get out of Huntingdon, don´t miss Boxer´s, the reunion bar. It has excellent burgers and cheese-steaks. Tuesday nights are perfect to go out to the cinema (it is cheaper on tuesdays) and the to have chiken wings with a good cider in Boxer´s. Thursdays you will be able to sing bamboleiro at AJ´s karaoke... But it is also very interesting to travel and very easy and cheap thanks to JC clubs. You can go skiing, or visit Canada with the french club, or Boston and Harvard University with the Model UN Club and a large etcetera. Make sure you don´t leave any homework or papers to do during spring/fall/thanksgiving breaks. Juniata is completely empty these days. You can always go visit you roommate family! Last thing: discover the planetarium before leaving!!

How much I hate wearing the same clothes over and over and over.

En mi opinión:

A todos les encantó, ¡y a tí también te encantará!

Good idea if you want a change from a big town/ Uni. You will make some good friends and be well taken care off. Great oppurtunity to make contacts as most students here are off to Law or medical school!.

I travelled over Xmas on the train with an East Coast Rail pass. Amtrack trains are often late but you meet some interesting people, see the best of the country and cover a huge distance. The best views were seen from the train from Montreal- NYC.
