From Paris, With Love

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd do a quick post to introduce myself before blogging for the rest of the semester. I'm here at HEC Paris, one of the Grande Ecoles of France, but it's kind of a misnomer because I am most definitely not in Paris, but instead in a sleepy little French town called Jouy (the picture shows the main street in the town).

The campus itself is beautiful, and a nice getaway from all the craziness that is Penn and Philadelphia. Students here like to have picnics by the lake, go jogging around the woods here, and just relax outside.

I've been here two weeks, and I've met about 95% international students and 5% French students. I've even met people from Serbia, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Tunisia, and a Penn alum here for his Master's!

Currently, I'm dividing my time between making travel plans (it's my first time in Europe), taking trips to Paris and Versailles, and trying to figure out how I'm going to survive my classes (they're all in French). It's been fantastic so far and I will definitely write more in the coming months! Feel free to contact me at tesun@wharton.upenn.edu if there's anything you'd like to me write about or if you have any questions about HEC! Bisous~
