The JanTerm Experience: “Adventures in Mexico”
You haven’t experienced culture shock until you can’t flush toilet paper. That was the first thing I learned upon landing in Mérida, México for Jan Term 2015. Seriously. The pipes can’t handle it, so you have to throw it away. And that was only the first in a laundry list of things that are different…

The JanTerm Experience: “Ringmastering at Ringling Museum”
This year, I decided I wanted to do my first internship in my hometown of Sarasota, Florida. When most people hear the name “Sarasota,” they think of the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus. I was able to land an internship at the Ringling Museum’s Circus Archives department with the background experience I learned from working in Salem’s…

The JanTerm Experience: “Twelve Short Days in the City of London”
The city of London has held a siren-like draw for me ever since I was a little girl, so I was very excited to actually visit London this Jan Term. Our class, led by Diane Lipsett and Anna Milholland, explored London and Oxford for twelve days, studying cultural and religious diversity. The group was lovely…

Coffee Shops Provide Students With A Hideaway From The Cold
Are you taking a class on campus this Jan Term? Are you looking to get away from campus for a bit? If so, you should check out one of the two main coffee shops in the area, Krankies and Caminos. We have mentioned Krankies in the Salemite before, as it is a popular hangout for…

The JanTerm Experience: “A Month Abroad in Costa Rica”
On January 3, we (Jenna Nodine and Jessica Habel) traveled through the private program, CISabroad, to San José, Costa Rica, to take an intensive Spanish course at Universidad Veritas for January term. We joined several hundred other students from the United States at the university. Veritas is a small arts school with approximately 1,850 Tico…

The JanTerm Experience: “From Washington, D.C, with Love”
Prior to my arrival in Washington, D.C., I was so nervous and unsure of what to expect. I would be living in a house where I did not know anyone, and I would be working in a large city, which I have only toured a handful of times. Ironically enough, though, my fears were getting…

The JanTerm Experience: “30 Days to Create”
I didn’t really know what I was getting into with this class, “30 Days to Create.” I didn’t like the sound of the other experimental Jan Term classes available to me, so I picked this one on a whim, having done so little research that I wasn’t even sure what I would be “creating” until…
