ne SE i September 30, 1998 - LIONS EYE - Page 7 New Club on Campus: Why Not Keep Your Opinions to Yourself By Joe Oberg Lion's Eye Staff Writer Clare Hayward and Nicola Marchant, English students enrolled at PSU-Delco, are currently enjoy- ing their American adventures. They applied for the opportunity to cross ~ the ocean and have their classes paid for back home and were approved a couple of days later. They were origi- nally scheduled to stay with a host family, but when that fell through they decided to pay for an apartment with their own money and as far as the girls are concerned that is just fine. They can now come and go as they please. They had to pay for their own flight and ever since they arrived they have been paying for their own food and transportation. They take the bus some of the time and get rides from students and new friends whenever they can. They find that among the advantages of being foreign travel- ‘ers is the ease at which new friends are made and rides are acquired. “People like the accents and it is easy to make friends” said Nicola. They also agreed, however, when I pro- posed that perhaps being women is also a key factor. Students philosophizing by the library. Krista Tempesta (third semester, busi- ness): Have more campus events. They have noticed a few dif- ferences between their area back home and life in and around PSU- Delco. For one thing, they find the classes to be much more challeng- ing and demanding in terms of the workload. They also say the students back home are, on the average, much older. There were also a few cultural differences. “The food is terrible and very expensive,” said Nicola refer- ring to the area’s general selection. “It’s easier to eat out because the markets are so expensive” said Clare. Bagels have been their staple food so far. They often turn to television as a major form of entertainment and have grown very fond of American soap opera’s and court shows. “It’s funny how bad they are; we don’t get a lot of those show in England” re- marked Nicola. Bars have also been a place to entertain themselves and grab a pint while they are not vigor- ously engaged in their various fields of study. They are particularly inter- ested in the bars that offer entertain- ment in the form of local bands to listen to and socialize with afterward. On their list of things to do before going back are trips to New York and Washington D.C.
