Alexandre the Great: Tour Guide
If you missed the LSC trip to Italy and Spain, don`t feel bad; you will have the chance to go to Australia and New Zealand in June.
Led by professor of history, Alexandre Strokanov, 15 LSC students packed their bags and experienced the first international trip offered this year to Italy and Spain. The trip lasted from Feb. 17 to Feb. 25, and students traveled to famous cities like Rome, Florence and Barcelona. They visited well-known places like Vatican City, the Rome Forum, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The trip earned students one general education credit without any paper writings or exams.
"Be prepared for the jam-packed," says Margaret George, a junior LSC student who went on the trip. "You would have lots of things to do, and wouldn't have much free time."
"We also went to many museums," says George. It was a good opportunity to learn about those historical places with Professor Strokanov, as he had traveled to those places many times before.
According to the traveling schedule, students had daily programs that told them where to visit, how long they would stay at one place, and when to move on. However, it was not that strict. After the everyday program, students could go anywhere they wanted, and do things they liked.
Some people may wonder how students spent their night time in those two countries, as the age limit of drinking in Italy is 16, and 18 for Spain.
"The students should remember they are representing the school," says Strokanov, "so they need to watch their behavior."
Also, coming in November, there will be a nine-day long trip to Costa Rica for one credit that still has space available.
