I am an Editor/Writer/Photographer. I am currently a senior at Sarah Lawrence College, but I studied abroad during my junior year at the University of Leeds in England from 2017-18.
At Sarah Lawrence, the education system is different than how typical colleges work. Instead of exams and quizzes at the end of a class each semester, we are required to write 15-30 page papers (or any other type of creative project) on a topic of our choosing, though the topic has to be related to the class in some way. This experience has greatly strengthened my writing and editing skills, especially since students are also required to meet with their professors once a week to discuss their paper/project, and this weekly check-in forces students to be continuously editing throughout the semester, until they are left with a complete and final project that they can be proud of.
