Classes in Cyprus?
So yesterday classes started! I learned a lot more about the Cyprus culture in the past two days. Again, there really are not very many rules about anything here. People do not worry about being on time for anything and they don't seem to worry too much about their schedules. My first class was Gender in Literature and Kelley is in that class with me so we found it together. The professor knew every single student in the class by name and major except for us new students! Today I had my Corporate Finance class and I was happy to see that there were 3 other GLS students in my class. Again, the professor was very friendly and laid back. We got to create the syllabus. We decided how many exams we want and how many homework assignments we want and what their weights will be. All of our exams will be open note. The way that the University of Nicosia is set up kind of reminds me of high school, because the whole school is basically just one big building. It is a lot different than Pitt because there is way more student/teacher interaction. Also, it is worth mentioning that the other day we went to McDonalds in Cyprus and it was the nicest place I've ever seen! It was super clean, the workers spoke more English here than they do in the states, and it was beautiful! It was lined with palm trees on the outside.
