Pretty Baglat, a student in Master Degree in Computer Science, shares her experience abroad as an exchange student. Pretty, who belongs to Shimla, said she always dreamt to study abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u001cDuring my graduation itself I started looking for opportunities abroad under the student exchange programme or short term internships. I got this opportunity now and luckily I was selected to study under student exchange programme at University of Naples, Federico II, Italy\u001d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pretty<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is the first time that she travelled outside the country\nand recalls how after landing in Naples, she had mixed emotions of being\nexcited and nervous at the same time. She said it was a total cultural shock\nand very overwhelming as her dream had come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u001cI was awe struck with the first experience in Naples\u001d she said and recounted how she felt handicapped due to complete lack of knowledge about the Italian language. Her next shock, or rather surprise, was the typical Italian food i.e Pizza and Pasta and many other dishes about which she had never heard earlier. Streets have open but covered sitting places outside cafe bars, pizzerias and restaurants which is not so common in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked how that country was different from India, she said\nthe entire atmosphere was different. \u001cAlmost all European countries, but\nespecially Italy, have preserved their ancient ruins, architectures, museums\nand other historical places as they were\u001d she says but regretted that in India\nneither the government nor the people make sincere efforts to preserve our\nancient historical architectures. \u001cThen, first Sunday of every month is free to\nvisit any historical museum or other places, which I have never seen in India\u001d.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She described Italy as extremely beautiful, with stunning\nscenic beauty and a rich tradition of art and culture. Talking about the\nEducation system, Pretty said that, it was very flexible in terms of exams\nschedule and few hours of lectures in a week which gives enormous amount of\ntime for self-study. \u001cNice, kind and very helpful people around me have made my\nstay wonderful\u001d, she added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her faculty in-charge is Professor Ettore Napoli. On being\nasked about the teaching style she said most professors teach via power-point\npresentations and each subject has some hours in a week whereas for the rest of\nthe week students can either go for part time job or\/and self- study based on\ntheir projects and courses. Among the places she has so far visited are Royal\nPalace of Naples Lungomare\/Mergilina, Centro storico, Bagnioli, Castel del\nNuovo, Vomero and National archeological museum of Naples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among her new friends there are Claudia, Pratibha and\nothers. She said that apart from academics, such cultural exchange programmes\nmake you more independent and self-reliant. These make you learn so many new\nthings, face new challenges in terms of new language barrier and communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
