“I’m an exchange student from France, just outside
of Lyon. I love the campus here. It’s very peaceful
and very beautiful. I haven’t seen the other parts of
Louisiana yet. I really want to go to New Orleans, of
course. People are much more friendly here than in
France. Like, people just talk to each other. In France,
people are not going to talk to someone if they don’t
know them. When I arrived I didn’t know anybody, but
it is very easy to meet people here. I also love the food.
I just tried Gumbo two or three days ago. I had it at a
friend’s party. Louisiana is just very different from my
place. It’s not in my comfort zone.”
