Butler University

When I first realized I would be out of the country during my first presidential election as a voter, I was really disappointed. I mean, how exciting must it be to live on an American college campus now?? Every time I get emails from College Democrats or see announcements about the Election Night viewing...

There are seventeen of us from Butler here in Spain, and once a month our professor, Dr. Willem, invites us over to her apartment for a BU reunion. She even had traditional Spanish party cakes for all of us... we ate soooo much! We also took time to catch up and share some stories from all of our adventures...

I agree with what everyone else said but I'll add my own suggestions, too : ) I took four AP classes and lots of Honors classes in high school and I found my freshman year to be easy compared to those becauase in college you don't have to go to all of your classes everyday (they only meet 1-3...

Hey Nicole! So I'm studying abroad in Spain and missing Butler very much, so I totally went overboard with answering your questions, but hopefully you can find something helpful in the novel I wrote you ; ) What made you pick to go to BU? 1. Location – Even now that we’re studying in Spain, living...

So I currently live across the Atlantic Ocean from all of my family, most of my friends, and both my homes (Chicago and Butler), in a country that does NOT speak English, in a tiny apartment with strangers... This could be very intimidating... but not with my Butler family here! There are seventeen of...

Okay, my title for today is intentionally over the top, but if you don't go to Butler, I don't think you can quite understand how awesome and friendly our professors are, how well they know us, love us, go out of their way for us, and even become our friends. I really realized this last Friday...

Oh, Clauss is actually my boss for the Writer's Studio, so I had him last semester for EN301. He can be challenging, but he's a really good teacher and class is entertaining - my friends who had him for their first year seminar liked him as well. I don't know about either of the other profs...

Wow, I'm so sorry for the lack of updates here. I feel like every time I post, I have to apologize for not posting due to something stressful. And that's no fun, because my life at Butler really isn't that terrible - things just have gotten in the way and I reeeally need to work on my time...

When I was a little kid, my mom used to tell me I should be a lawyer when I grew up, because I was always arguing. I'm not prelaw, but I still love a good debate, and for some reason this week has been full of them. I wrote about several different debates, but I've organized them so you can just...

For my Jane Austen seminar, my prof invited us over to his house to watch the movie of Pride & Prejudice and he bought us pizza for dinner! So much fun.
