I'm English and studying in England, so maybe not your first guess at one of the international society members. I have always had international friends since the beginning of uni so when some of my best friends and housemates became committee members it was natural that I should become a member too.
Besides being loads of fun with cool events organised by Gaby, Naissa, Lucie, Jasmin, Ricarda, Jimmy and Shanin (the committee), the ISS is a great place to meet people from all around the world in my own country and while studying.
The lastest event took place last night, a quirky theme was to be choosen. Pirates? Arrright! The best dressed lady and gent recieved the prize of a bottle of rum and there were also prizes for the best pirate imitation, pirate song and various other quizzes.
I met loads more new people from my uni last night from Luxembourg, Lithuania, Romania, Finland, Bulgaria and Germany (which is always good as I'm trying really hard to learn German as a second language right now).
As well as great friends and great times I have a lot to thank the ISS for in supporting my application to become STA travel's Intern this summer. Last week the committee let me spread the word in their column featured in the university paper, the pebble. I got to explain to fellow students what my application involves. Thanks to Gaby (ISS president) yesterday, for making the announcement at the Pirate party.
