This past Thursday I had an orientation at La Universidad Americana
with the other international students studying there this coming
semester. On the first day, all of the international students met the
key program coordinators that have been working with us to secure our
housing, course schedules and overall experience studying abroad. So
far, I have been impressed with the availability and kindness that all
the UAM staff have shown us – it’s really been great knowing I have all
the support I need to succeed and to be safe in a new environment!
Along with an orientation to the school, we were given a brief tour
of Managua. Though most of the tour was done in the van due to the hot
weather, we were able to get out at a few places for closer looks. The
first notable spot was La Plaza de la Revolución which includes the
following three buildings: La Casa de los Pueblos, La Catedral Antigua
de Managua and El Palacio Nacional.
The tour was tons of fun and ended at El Lago de Managua.
Fun fact: People in Managua often use “Al lago” in place of the direction North (because the lake is north of Managua).
