"The hunt is on! Get to know your visiting students."

People always seem to notice what diversity there is amongst the permanent students but not all the different backgrounds and schools that all our new and energized visiting students come from! Let´s make this a sport on campus: hunt down visiting students from as many different schools as possible!

People always seem to notice what diversity there is amongst the permanent students but not all the different backgrounds and schools that all our new and energized visiting students come from! Let´s make this a sport on campus: hunt down visiting students from as many different schools as possible!
Last Spring 2010 semester there were over 14 different US universities from across the country that had at least 3 students studying abroad here. These are perhaps the schools we hear of most often such as Baylor University (10), Boston College (13), Butler (5), Lafayette (26), Loyola (12), Saint Joseph's (10), University of Maryland (9), Temple (7), Seattle University (4), Wake Forest (4) and St. Thomas (4), not to mention our most numerous visitors/friends, the 120 students from the SLU home campus back in St. Louis, Missouri.
These schools vary not only in size and location, but also in the majors they offer, so it is pretty safe to say that on the Madrid Campus we are all specializing in a wide array of different subjects, most of which are not offered at the Madrid Campus. I don’t know about you, but I always get excited when someone tells me in class that they are a Physical Therapy or Education major!
To not forget the rest of the visiting students who perhaps go by less noticed, you would be surprised to know that students come to our university not only from all possible schools in the USA, but also from Europe, Africa and Asia! You get a double prize for finding and meeting one of those ;)

To all you who are visiting our university just for the semester- try and find and befriend a permanent student! They will definitely make discovering Madrid a whole new experience.
And to all of you new or old permanent students – MAKE SURE that you meet and embrace the great diversity of visiting students at our campus this Fall 2010!
Happy hunting!
