My name is Erica, and I’m a senior at Martel College. I’m double majoring in Computer Science and Cognitive Science. I’ve studied during summer terms with DIS in Stockholm, Sweden, and Copenhagen, Denmark as well as a fall semester with IES in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Talk to me about nerves from traveling out of the country for the first time and not knowing anyone as well as tips for getting settled. I can help you find your best fit for a program and term abroad, comparing between the student experience in the countries I studied in as well as between the DIS and IES programs. I can also offer insight about finding courses that transfer into Rice for Neuroscience, Psychology, Philosophy, and Computer Science. If you’re interested in working as a student photographer for DIS or IES, I can tell you more about the experience of working on their student media teams. Also ask me about recommendations for parks, libraries, and swimming spots!
