Experiences Abroad

Gregg Surette, an American student, was studying International Business, French and Accounting at the University of Boston when he got the opportunity to study in France for a semester during his junior year. He studied at L’Institut de Formation Internationale in Rouen which was the sister school of his University.

He says he really enjoyed having this experience and would definitely do it again, but maybe as a single person this time.

Here is a testimony from the other side of the fence.

Film Review

Les Intouchables

An incredible film that will catch your attention from the first minute and put a smile on your face. The movie, based on a true story, is a very touching comedy about an unusual friendship of a rich aristocrat quadriplegic (François Cluzet) and a young man from the ghetto (Omar Sy). I would define it as the best movie of the year 2011, or at least this is a hot candidate. The film is an amazing combination of black humour and dramatic scenes on the background and a comparison of the two completely different worlds. It is full of really powerful and moving moments; it is dynamic so you enjoy every image from the very beginning to the end. The cast was phenomenal as well, even though according to the book, the real “Driss“ is Arab and not black. But to my opinion, it does not have anything to do with racism as a few criticisms pointed out. The director Olivier Nakache had to face the race problems as well as the problems of disability. It was a very hard task, but he did a fabulous job – the film reached the second highest turnout in French cinema and an enormous popularity all around the world. No matter how old you are, this is a powerful movie that is worth being seen on the big screen.

Moab is a city in Utah that is well known of outdoorsy people. It is the center of all fun, aka rock climbing, kayaking, biking, camping, hiking, rafting and even skiing or snowmobiling. It is also the motherland of Arches and Canyonland National Parks.

This place is heaven without a doubt: the landscape is absolutely amazing and boredom is absolutely impossible there.

All year round, Moab is an adventure!
