I am Madelon, currently doing an exchange semester in Social Work. My home university is in the lovely city of Groningen in the Netherlands. I live in Bern with my Swiss boyfriend, so I do a lot of traveling every week.
I have been welcomed 3 times now, because here at the ZHAW, they have the funny system where all exchange students are personally welcomed to every seminar. Every time I start a new seminar everyone instantly knows I’m the foreigner in the room, I will credit it to the politeness the Swiss are known for. And I’m learning to deal with the awkwardness of everyone staring at the new Dutch girl.
