    On-arrival thoughts & first impressions of Rutgers and New Jersey – Is this it?

    February 17, 2020 /

    By Noor Namutebi (Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, USA). Driving from Newark Airport to my accommodation (Easton Avenue apartments) was surreal as 1. I was extremely sleep deprived 2. This was the first time I had ever stepped foot in the USA and it was, for lack of a better word, crazy. The drive was not entirely representative of what my university area would look like, as it was mostly the outskirts, but I got incredibly excited when every 10 minutes we would pass a well-known American food chain (like Olive Garden).

I currently have a couple of hours to spare before I take the train from New York Penn Station to Stony Brook University, so I thought it is prime time to write an update on my journey here to NY and my two nights staying in Times Square itself! I arrived into New York’s JFK airport Monday lunch time, and I had to travel an hour on the train and subway to the center of New York.. I could have taken a cab, but being a student again means I must save money where I can! The journey was rather painful…

🥁Drum roll please.... 🥁 Ok... so maybe the Go Abroad team won't be asking for your autograph Why not switch out the hustle and bustle of Oxford Road for Canadian lakes 🤔 "5 of us took a trip up to Yosemite national park and spent our fall break hiking, biking and taking in all the stunning views. We even tried to go swimming in the river but it was freezing. Nevertheless I really enjoyed my time and hope to visit more national parks in California." - From our Global Ambassador Ciara in LA! 🏊🚲 Are you going abroad for Semester 2 of this academic year? ✈️ "Studying in Hong Kong meant I had the opportunity to visit Japan during reading week! These photos are from Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. We got to experience the vibrant streets and busy city life of Tokyo and Osaka, as well as the more traditional sights and temples in Kyoto.🌃🏯🎎 And, of course, plenty of shopping along the way! 🛍️🛍️ Are you considering studying at American universities for your time abroad?🦅 There is reduced opening hours at the Go Abroad desk in the Atrium during reading week (2nd-6th November) 📣 We might be slightly biased about how great going abroad is...
