By George Leggett, Second Year, Ancient HistoryFor a number of reasons, academically, I felt far more fulfilled by my study abroad experience last term at UNC (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) than I have this term at Bristol.

In my case, for Ancient History, this term I only have one formative assessment per unit, with two other group projects, both summative. These formative assessments, furthermore, are only due towards the end of term, leading me…

But the move was celebrated by pro-Palestinian students, who saw it as the culmination of years of advocacy to stop Pitzer from collaborating with the University of Haifa and a win for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. The Student Senate at Pitzer, which…
