Alumni Stories: Paloma Fernández Gen 23

"Today I study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I study Political Science and French. Kennedy prepared me for university since the IB program allowed me to revalidate many classes. Such as IB Mathematics Analysis, allowed me to revalidate Calculus, with IB Economics I revalidated ECON 101, with IB Biology I revalidated BIO 101 and laboratory too. With IB Spanish Literature I was able to revalidate 4 levels of Spanish (101,102,203,204), and also another Education Requirement. Thanks to that, I can take more advanced courses and explore new interests.

I have been very surprised by the amount of resources offered at my university, such as the availability of physical spaces and tutors for each subject. I also really enjoy the number of clubs and extracurricular activities you can get involved in. For example, last semester I was part of the rowing team and I was a staff member at the United Nations Model conference, an activity I also did in high school. Coming to Carolina has marked a new chapter in my life!"

Me ha sorprendido mucha la cantidad de recursos que ofrecen en mi universidad como la disponibilidad de espacios físicos y tutores para cada materia.  También disfruto mucho la cantidad de clubs y de actividades extracurriculares en las que te puedes involucrar. Por ejemplo, el semestre pasado formé parte del equipo de remo y fui staff en la conferencia de Modelo de Naciones Unidas, una actividad que también hacía en prepa. ¡Venir a Carolina ha marcado un nuevo capítulo en mi vida!"

From early on, students participated in many team games.
