University of California, Davis

During my exchange at UC Davis, I experienced a different style of learning and enjoyed travelling in California. One thing that surprised me was the enthusiasm for learning among the students at UC Davis. I used to have the impression that students in the West were more laid back in their studies, but that is not what I observed during my exchange. The students were well prepared for class, made detailed notes and participated very actively in their classes and study groups.

I made use of my free time in the US to travel around, and went to several fascinating country parks such as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. Although it took a long time to reach these attractions, the views there were so beautiful that it was well worth it.
