Returning home from Mizzou.
By Becky Light, University of Missouri, USA Compared to a lot of my friends at Mizzou, I was lucky to finish my finals early in my final week. This meant that I had enough time to enjoy my last week in the States. I went out for a final dinner with the girls from my dorm; Texas Roadhouse is a must! This was a really nice way to say goodbye to the people who had looked after me in my dorm and taught me so much about American culture.

Midterm Mizzou Updates!
by Becky L, University of Missouri, USA We are just about to finish our 9th week of classes at Mizzou, and I’m well and truly into the swing of things now! Over the last few weeks I’ve had plenty of coursework and some exams to complete. One of my classes has a weekly quiz that I keep on top of, allowing me to revise the topics as I go. Alongside this, I have had an exam in all 3 of my in-person classes. Having not taken closed-book, in-person exams since 2019, I was very nervous for these exams, but it turns out I had no reason to be! All of…

My First Few Weeks at Mizzou!
By Becky L, University of Missouri-Columbia, United States of America With the first week of classes coming to an end, I decided now would be a good time to introduce myself and my Study Abroad University! My name is Becky and I’m a second year Biomedical Sciences student, studying for the semester at the University of Missouri – Columbia. Initially I was apprehensive about spending 5 months in the Midwest, but I’ve acclimatised very quickly, mainly thanks to the amazing friends that I have met!

True/False Film Fest
Columbia downtown is a mix of eclectic boutiques, restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs and even has a karaoke bar which is great fun! It is small but its range in shops makes it the perfect student downtown. It is walking distance from campus and the dorms and there is some off campus housing that is in downtown. It is usually relatively busy during the day but gets more lively in the evenings when students go out. However for one long weekend in early March, downtown becomes bustling and busy with thousands of people coming to Columbia for the True/False Film Fest. The Fest shows non-fiction films, with musicians performing before…

Why Mizzou?
“Why Mizzou?” “How did you end up in Missouri?!?” I get these questions all the time. It seems that my fellow Mizzou students are astounded that I could have possibly chosen to come to Missouri, but I love it here and wouldn’t be anywhere else. Deciding where to study abroad is a big deal, you are committing to living somewhere for a year and it was not a decision that I was going to take lightly. I did my research looking at the various universities, looking up the courses that I could take and basically seeing if it would be a good fit for me. I knew that I was…
