Where Should You Study Abroad?

I know that many of you have expressed interest in studying abroad sometime during your university career.  Take this Buzzfeed quiz Where Should You Actually Study Abroad to decide what city and country are best of you to have a study abroad experience.

After reading the results of the quiz, decide if you agree with the quiz's answer.  Do you like the city?  What do you like about the idea of the city?  What subjects would you study?  Where would you go and what would you do in your free time.  If you disagree with the results, tell me why and choose another city that you'd prefer to study abroad in. Then, tell me why you chose that city and what you'd do there in your free time and what you'd study.

Your response should be one complete paragraph (8-10 sentence).  Please regard you punctuation, sentence structure, capitalization, spelling, and vocabulary use.  Although this is creative writing, it is still academic.  This blog post is due no later than midnight tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 25th.

Ten Thousand Dirhams

Blog Prompt:  Imagine that you woke up this morning and taped on your pillow was an envelope with a check for ten thousand dirhams.  You can go to the Credit Agricole bank downtown in Ifrane and cash it, but there is a rule.  You can not spend the 10,000 dhs on yourself.  You must either give it away to charity or spend it on someone else.  You can not be involved in using the money at all and you must spend all 10,000 dhs.

Write a paragraph (8-10) sentence, using good grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation that explains how you spent the money.  Describe why you decided to give the money to a certain charity and how that charity will use the money to help other people. OR write about who you decided to spend the money, how you spent the money on that person (or people), and why you chose to spend the money on that specific person (or people).

The deadline for this blog post is midnight tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2015. I will not give credit to blog posts submitted after this deadline.
