Saint Michael's College

Program: MATESOL

Hometown: Windhoek, Namibia

Testimonial: I love the fact that Saint Michael's is in the Green Mountain state. Everything is green in summer and white in winter. I wanted to go to a place completely different from my country.

What's it like to live in Burlington, Vermont? I like that the public bus system transports Saint Mike's students to different towns such as Essex Junction or Williston. Burlington is one of the healthiest cities in the U.S. I prefer organic food and I can find that type of food pretty easily. The city is safe.

What was a favorite class at Saint Michael's? Introduction to Language and Linguistics, and Theory and Methods in Second Language Teaching. The two courses have prepared me to start planning for my thesis. The professors are also well-versed in their respective subject matters.

What do you like to do outside of the classroom? I play a lot of tennis and I love to watch the performing arts.

What do you plan to do after graduation? Return home and apply my experience to the Namibian education system.
