Experiential Blog 8

Classes in Harlaxton have been different then classes in the States. We are being taught in a castle. This fact hits me every other class when I just look around our classroom in the Gold Room. Its a room with gigantic ceiling with painting, giant mirrors, and a garden right next to it. The German history class I'm in has been almost all new information I never got back in the States. The only think I new before going into the class was probably who were Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sigmund Freud. I now know a plethora of information of what the Empire was, who was in control, and how they were able to keep power longer than other European empires. The main difference of studying abroad here is that we actually go and visit the places we talk about. In being able to physically go to the places we learn about and see things with m own eye definitely give me a better appreciation for the information I'm learning. Learning who the Habsburg were, visiting their palaces and other places that represent the Empire has given me a new experience I will never forget. As well as being in different European countries have given me a new perspectives on how I should behave and pack for my next excursion.
