University of Miami
Hey AIESEC Innsbruck Members,Finally I manage to post here in our blog about my year abroad at the University of Miami which is, I have to admit, the first blog entry of my life - so here we go.
The whole experience over here in Florida really leaves you speachless! We've got sommer the whole year round, the campus looks like a park and you have so many cool things to do that you wouldn't be bored one time in 10 years without doing anyting for your study. The first week here we had integration events almost 24/7 so that you know at least a 100 people to go out and make party afterwards.
Although there were some obstacles to take (eg. computer services that knock off your whole operating system and delete all your data right after having installed MS Office) Manfred (also from Innsbruck) and me are really enjoying the whole organization and our courses are really good. Although causing a lot of study work for us, the higher level courses equip you with very professional state of the art knowledge about business and economics.
On the weekends we go out either to the clubs of South Beach (which look like the ones in MTV videos) or to one of the house parties which are very common over here and incredibly fun (at least until the police comes which is also standard here). On the picture you see as having a barbecue at the beach what you can do basicly every day here :D.
The upcoming weekend I am going to a big music festival in New Orleans with a few friends to see BRMC (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) and RATM (Rage Against The Machine) - again awesome, isn't it?
By the way, Football is the single most important thing here at the UM as you can see at the photo beneath.
Unfortunately the next AIESEC commitee is a couple of hours away in Orlando, but mabe I can manage to see them at any event....
Finally, I hope to hear from you soon and will blog here again shortly. I am looking forward to get to know the new members you are recruiting right now and maybe see you around Christmas time for a Glühwein in front of the Golden Roof!
Yours truly,
Stefan
