Nakul Bhatia (3L): Prague, Czech Republic Most memorable moment? It was probably all my friends and family that came to visit throughout my exchange.

Tyler Tober (3L) I should hate the Seattle Seahawks. I should hate their (sometimes) obnoxious mouthpiece, Richard Sherman. I should, being the politically correct guy I am, hate Marshawn Lynch’s crotch grab celebration and general disdain for authority. I should hate their annoying conspiracy theorist head coach, Pete Carroll. (I do generally dislike the […]
