I’m just wondering if you are actually going to attend all of this activity in just one week. Definitely its really exhausting but I’m sure its a lot of fun not to mention that its all worth the effort.
Hi Christine – no, you probably wouldn’t have time to attend all of these events in one week. I just wanted to give you a sense of what type and how many special lectures and events take place here during just a few days. Students are very busy with classes so they have to be selective about what outside events they can and cannot attend.
