As an international student in a new country, at a new school, I am finding it difficult to navigate the University of Limerick campus. At my home university, my classes are mainly in one building due to my major, here, taking many different classes, it’s challenging to walk from one end of the campus to the other in ten minutes, sometimes less.
More specifically, the main building on campus is extremely confusing to navigate due to the interesting names of the levels. Not only that, but also the hallways bring me around much further than I need to go. There have been multiple occasions over the past two weeks where I have walked into the wrong class right when the lecturer was beginning to give his lecture. How embarrassing! However, there is a positive side to the confusion. I get to see more of this beautiful campus. My schedule allows me to all three parts of campus, so I am fortunate for that.
This campus is very similar to my home school back in the States which gives me a little sense of home. I’m hoping by next week I will be able to navigate the campus without looking at a map on my phone.
