I just had a fun time dining at Tap House, with some of the first-year and second-year ICC students. It was great to bond over with those familiar faces who are currently doing their second year, and to meet new friends that I haven't been able to get to know them in previous events. Unfortunately, only four first-year students came, including me. I guess the rest of them are struggling to get their paper done before the incoming due day. ( choosing professors is very important.) Given that most of the attendees are second-year, we talked a lot about their courses, professors, internships and their future plans. it was a great way not only to be informed of things that we'd better know before making decisions, but also to be able to draw from others' experiences and reflect on our own. And since my program is pretty small, with only 15 people in my cohort, it is easy for us to bond and have such social get-together after the school. The events that ICCers have participated included the intercultural Thanksgiving lunch at GIC, the Halloween party at GSC, with some of the second-year ICCers as staff members, and also the first blog about ICC mixer at the beginning of the semester etc. Therefore, the opportunities for ICCers to socialize and form a close cohort relationship are abundant. If you enjoy such kind of students' relationships, my program is a good one to consider.
