Exploring Culture

I have learned that American and Spanish speaking universities have some differences but also some similarities to each other. For example I learned about the difference between the universities websites and how they are set up. The University of Sao Paulo gives a summary of the college like where it is, when it was founded, and pictures of the University. Compared to ODU website the pictures look to be taken from a far distance on Sao Paulo’s website as ODU website pictures look to bet taken up close with students in the background. A similarity between the two websites would be having a lot of the same tabs on the top of the website such as “Home” and “About”. I also learned that in some Spanish speaking countries most students at universities don’t live on campus or have a roommate, they live off campus. I just assumed that like me as a student in the U.S., that underclassman full-time students such as freshman and sophomores would have to live on campus as a requirement. It is better to not assume and do research before coming to a conclusion.
