Kristie Pollard
Kristie Pollard, a junior Communications major from Rutland, Vermont, has embarked on a semester abroad in the city of Leiden, the Netherlands. Kristie attends Webster University’s Leiden campus where she is taking classes in audio production, Dutch language among other things. Webster’s main campus is in St. Louis, Missouri with other campuses in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, China, Japan, Austria and Thailand. Kristie says Leiden is a college city with three universities there. “The Dutch embrace free thinking as a way of life and are very eco-friendly as a whole,” she said of the experience so far. “It (the school) is a lot like SVC in that it is tight-knit and the staff bends over backwards to make you comfortable. I've been here only two days and it already feels like an SVC-away-from-SVC,” she added.
