This is a blog representing the Whitman College Off Campus Studies (OCS) department. I am documenting my experience studying abroad in Nantes, France during the Fall 2021 semester.

My name is Ella Veljovich and I am a Biology major at Whitman College, with an intended minor in French. I am studying abroad to focus on my minor and immerse myself in French language and culture. I have wanted to study abroad in France since middle school and am incredibly excited that this dream of mine is finally coming to fruition.

In this blog I will be documenting my experience studying abroad with the hope that I can help future Whitman students decide if this is the right OCS program for them.
