Roommates!

Like many of my fellow NYUAD Class of '15er's, I have been anxiously awaiting any and all communication from school. At least for me, one of the emails I have been waiting for most is the roommate assignment. Which came today!

I got placed in a 4 person visitation room (which is exactly what I wanted!) Because
1) I am totally ok with having people hang out in the room. But...
2) I like sleeping. So having a separate room (that I do share), yet has a door will be awesome. And...
3) Visitation. So anyone can come chill :)

And my roommates sound awesome. I am rooming with Farah from the UAE, Tessa from Spain, and Fah from Thailand. So super diverse. Which is a good reflection as to the student body at NYUAD.

Welcome

If you've found this blog, you probably know me :) But if not, here is a short introduction.

My name is Brook, and I am about to embark on the journey of a lifetime to the United Arab Emirates to study at New York University Abu Dhabi for my undergraduate years. I grew up in Vermont, so going to school over 7,000 miles away is a big leap, and I'll be using this blog to keep those at home up-to-date on my adventures. I'm going to update this weekly, time permitting.

While at NYUAD, I plan on studying Social Research and Public Policy, with a lot of Arabic, journalism, and photography courses as well, with my ultimate after-graduation plan of becoming a photojournalist and working with NGO's abroad.

That's all for now, I leave for Abu Dhabi in 36 days and counting.
