Every spring we
have 5 or more evening orientation sessions in
Oxford, including lectures by experienced professors
on important aspects of Luxembourg and Europe,
a lecture by the Executive Director of MUDEC,
and "nuts
and bolts" sessions on topics such as courses,
requirements, registration,
financial questions, host family living, cultural
adjustment, travel and so on. Recent alumni of
the program will be on hand to address popular
questions. For spring semester students we offer
a refresher session in the fall plus one additional
orientation session on travel.
It is very important to the success of your semester(s)
abroad, that you attend all 5 of the basic sessions, or, if you have a
conflict, that you see the videos of the one(s) you miss. The orientation
calendar is sent to every student who has been accepted. |

When
you arrive in Luxembourg, you will benefit from
4 1⁄2 days of orientation sessions on-site.
These will enable you to recover from jet lag,
get to know your classmates, see some important
cultural and historical sites in the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, and adjust to your new environment
before classes start.
The introductory program includes briefings
from representatives of the US Embassy,
information concerning safety and security
matters, walking tours, lectures about
Luxembourg and Differdange, and much
more. The Luxembourg staff and faculty
will provide extensive information on
MUDEC-related matters.
At the end
of the first week of classes, you will
all tour Trier, Germany's oldest city,
the capital of the Western Roman Empire
for centuries, which offers a rich and
unique blend of histories, Roman buildings
and arts, museums and picturesque streets. |
