The University of Bayreuth in Germany got in contact with Global Opps to tell us about their exciting Summer School in 2019. This might make a great summer school opportunity for our self funded students. To find out more about this check out their website www.summerschool.uni-bayreuth.de/en/index.html

First thing you think of when someone says Australia? Wataaar (Ozzie accent) For my first post I would like to share with you all some of my favourite watering holes around Sydney

G’day mate I’m Jamie and this week I’ll be taking over your instagram feed! I studied at the University of New South Wales in Sydney 🇦🇺

Hi, I’m Nick and welcome to the final day of my Instagram takeover. To finish, I thought I’d share some more photos of the city of Austin. It is known for being a very green city with lots of outdoor activities and amazing scenery. You can paddle board on the river through the centre of Austin, there is an outdoor natural pool called Barton Creek where people swim all year round. The are also loads of amazing viewpoints of the city, including 360 bridge and Mount Bonnell and these are both just a short car or bus journey from campus and show how quickly you can be out of the city and into amazing green spaces. There is also the Hamilton Nature reserve which has a pool which you can swim in, that was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed. There is so many different things to do in Austin and it is an amazing place. I hope you have enjoyed the photos this week and learning more about my year abroad at The University of Texas!

Hi, I’m Nick and welcome back to my Instagram takeover. As it’s Saturday today’s photos are from the one of the most important events at any American University and that is College Football. The games take place throughout the Fall semester every Saturday and they are an amazing event and something that you will definitely experience if you study abroad in America. The University of Texas, where I studied, is one of the biggest Universities for football and each week around 100,000 fans go and watch the team. Even if you aren’t a big fan of sports you should still go to a game as it is about so much more than football. From getting to campus early to start tailgating before a game through to all of the food at the stadium, the marching band at half time and the energy around the campus and city after a big win. Going to games was one of my favourite things about my year abroad and is definitely something to experience!

Hello and welcome back to my Instagram takeover! I’m Nick and I’m going to share some photos from my spring break! So in the US, their break is only a week long so I made the most of it by going to Texas’s two other major cities, Houston and Dallas. Houston is the biggest city in Texas and also has the biggest rodeo! While at the rodeo, I went to a country concert and carnival, and sampled some of the food including foot long corn dogs and turkey legs! It was a true southern experience! I then headed to Dallas which is very different from Austin and Houston. It’s very modern, but has a lot of history behind it. I went to the famous site of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination which is marked in the photo above with a white X on the road. Texas is a massive state and each city is very different from one another! I encourage visiting all three if possible!
