First post from Bard College...

First post from Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.
Today is exactly one month since I'm here, at Bard College.

Thank you AUCA for this wonderful opportunity to study at Bard College!

In August 2014 I moved to Annandale-On-Hudson, New York as a PIE (Program in International Education) exchange student for Fall 2014 semester.

This is how it started!! May 2nd early morning

I will continue studying journalism, with a concentration in photo and video production at Bard College.  

It was a great honor for me to be chosen as a PIE student. Since 2011, AUCA and Bard College launched a partnership that allows students from both universities to spend a one term studying abroad.
