In less than three months, I will be living in the beautiful city of Toulouse, France. The city is sometimes referred to as "La Ville Rose" (in English, "The Pink City") due to the prominent use of pinkish bricks in most of the city's architecture. How poetic, right?
With a population of a little over one million, Toulouse is home to over 97,000 university students making it one of the largest “college towns” in France. One of its universities is the Toulouse Business School where I will be studying International Management for four months this spring.
One of my goals while I am abroad is to document my experiences. I plan to do this personally by keeping a journal, but I would also like to share these experiences with everyone back home which is why I have decided to begin blogging. I hope to post some before I leave in February to share about my experiences preparing to go abroad. Once I am there, I would like to post at least once every week. We’ll see how well I can stick to this goal…
I have already been accepted to the school in France and am now waiting to receive my acceptance letter in the mail so that I can get my French visa. Other than that, I’m just working on learning about Toulouse and getting excited about what I anticipate to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life!
