Arriving in Cincinnati

London Heathrow Airport

London, 1 a.m., 18th August 2013
Eerie moment: Waiting for my flight to Chicago. It seems that I am the only person being at the big airport Heathrow in London. 

After a lonely night at the airport and more than 24 hours of traveling, I safely arrived in Cincinnati. First impressions of the way from the airport to my new home: small and clearly organized airport, empty downtown and in the end a big house with a lot of freshly arrived international students. A new life begins!

I share a room with two French girls.

In general the house includes a good mix of nations: Saudi Arabia, England, India, France, Japan, Singapore, and Germany. 

We all live together in ten rooms, four bathrooms and a small kitchen. In the first days we got to know each other such as the campus and took part in some organized events of the University.  

I was very fascinated by the beauty of the campus and the size of the recreation center. Than I found out, that the University of Cincinnati has one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States. I truly understand why!
