Dear Sir, On Wednesday 3rd June, arriving at UEA to attend a talk in Lecture Theatre one at seven in the evening, there were an unusual number of students gathered on the newly refurbished steps. On leaving 90 minutes later, most of the students had gone but an appalling amount of litter was strewn all over the area. A number of bins had been provided. One wonders at the state of a person’s mind who can walk away leaving such squalor. Yours Sincerely,

University, home and away

Local travel: Norwich

After taking a study year abroad at the University

Rachel Conquer

of Kansas, fourth year American Studies student Kirsty Mair explains how university life in America compares to that of England and what she thought of it. When boarding the plane that began my study year abroad in America last August, my head was full of rugged cowboys, Hollywood celebrities and sunny beaches. This was the America I had seen on the television and in movies – this was the America I knew. So as the plane touched down in the ‘Land of Plenty’, and more specifically the wonderfully wacky state of Kansas, I knew that the next 10 months would be different to any I had previously known. Having chosen the University of Kansas as the destination for my time abroad, I arrived in search of small-town America and a completely different world to what I was accustomed to in Norwich. Driving down the main street on campus in the dry heat of summer, I immediately knew that in my selection I had achieved exactly that. Whilst the campus had all the usual features - the football pitch, the gym, the union and the library - in true American style, everything was bigger and, well, more ‘American’. The football pitch was built in a 52,000 capacity stadium, there were two gyms (one for the exclusive use of student athletes), the union housed a ballroom and a bowling alley, and there were no less than 5 libraries. Whilst I held strong allegiance to my beloved UEA, even I had to admit that this new land 4000 miles from home was pretty impressive. The surprises kept coming as the weeks went on and I realised just how different my UEA life was to the new one I was becoming immersed in. College sports are absolutely huge in the States (hence the on-campus stadium), and in Kansas American football and basketball took the limelight. The players

were treated like homegrown celebrities, and when I arrived the basketball coach had just reached legendary status after signing a $30 million 10-year contract and visiting the White House! Whilst UEA sports teams sadly struggle to gain the attention and support of even half the student body, the whole Kansas University and local townspeople pack the stadium every weekend in loyal

“Can you imagine making your way along St Stephen’s street to see all the OAP’s decked out in their UEA garb?” support of the university teams. This dedication filters into the local clothing trends as well, with it being a common sight on the town high street to see beer-bellied men and middle-aged housewives proudly wearing t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, hats and scarves, all emblazoned with the university name. Can you imagine making your way along St Stephens Street to see all the OAPs decked out in their UEA garb? No, neither can I. Other than the surreal communal obsession with the sports teams, there were other strange concepts that I had to learn about, the strangest of these being the Greek life. The campus was littered with several fraternity

and sorority houses, basically the huge mansion homes of girls and boys who have made their pledge to be true to their sisterhood or brotherhood. My weirdest memory is from my first week in Kansas when I walked past one of the sorority houses only to find 50 tanned and manicured girls clapping and singing on the steps of their mansion. Think Legally Blonde and you’re halfway there. If the sports teams were campus royalty, the sororities and fraternities were definitely the next tier down on the social ladder. These are only a few examples of the new culture I experienced during my time away, and despite finding some aspects of US life really weird (the fact that Thanksgiving is celebrated more than Christmas, for example), each day was a learning curve and I genuinely loved every second. Now back in England and preparing for my return to Norwich, it is strange to think how easily absorbed into American life I became. Coming home I was a different person, thinking in dollars, spelling in American English and talking about the ‘President’ Gordon Brown. Life across the pond was certainly a different world, and although the campus was large, the accents were loud and the meals were supersized, I am now more than excited at the prospect of settling back in and enjoying my final year in Norwich. I hear the LCR calling…

When you think of Norwich you might think of many things. For us students it will primarily be UEA and student life: the LCR, amazing friends, as well as the odd spot of work now and then. But Norwich holds many more treasures. Whether you are a ĨƌĞƐŚĞƌ ƐƚĂƌƟŶŐ ǇŽƵƌ ǀĞƌǇ ĮƌƐƚ ǇĞĂƌ Žƌ Ă ĮŌŚ ĂŶĚ ĮŶĂů ǇĞĂƌ ƐƚƵĚĞŶƚ͕ ŝƚ ǁŽƵůĚ ďĞ ǀĞƌǇ ĚŝĸĐƵůƚ ƚŽ ƐĂǇ ƚŚĂƚ you have seen everything that there is to see or do everything that there is to do in Norwich, let alone Norfolk. Being a historical city, there are ŵĂŶǇ ĐƵůƚƵƌĂů ĂƩƌĂĐƟŽŶƐ ŝŶ EŽƌǁŝĐŚ͘ The cathedral for example has been standing for over 900 years and is loved by not only the people of Norwich, but of Norfolk too.

There are even some occasions when you can visit the cathedral whilst choirs and orchestras rehearse Žƌ ƉĞƌĨŽƌŵ͕ ĐƌĞĂƟŶŐ ĂŶ ĂŵĂǌŝŶŐ atmosphere when you walk around this incredible building.

Unlike the cathedral, entry isn’t free, however if you want to visit it on a budget, you can as one hour before closing entry is just £1. Norwich is also home to its own football club. Norwich City FC, also known as the Canaries, regularly play games at Carrow Road Stadium. Located near the Riverside complex, it’s within easy reach of both bus and rail links, meaning there is no excuse not to cheer on your local team. If you don’t have the luxury ŽĨ Ă ĐĂƌ͕ ƚŚĞŶ ƚŚĞ ƚƌĂŝŶ ƐƚĂƟŽŶ ĐĂŶ take you to many places whether ůŽĐĂůůǇ Žƌ ŶĂƟŽŶĂůůǇ͘ ƚƌŝƉ ƚŽ ƚŚĞ 'ƌĞĂƚ zĂƌŵŽƵƚŚ ƚĂŬĞƐ ƌŽƵŐŚůǇ ŚĂůĨ an hour so you can see the sea even easier than you thought!
