Winter in Japan is looking magical this year😍! Japan is a country overflowing with both cultural and natural beauty, and we don't think Hataeda Hachimangu 幡枝八幡宮 could be doing a better job at reminding us of this incomparable interconnectedness🏯⛩️🎋❄️

"Hataeda Hachimangu 幡枝八幡宮 is a shinto shrine established in 894 in Iwakura, north Kyoto. The main shrine is principally associated with metal craftsmanship, adjacent to which is a small additional shrine associated with needles (hari), established by the Kyoto textile industry association. Ceremonies are still carried out regularly at Hataeda Hachimangu for the local community, sometimes using the beautiful Noh stage in front of the main shrine."

“Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds
And shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They’re making me feel
I’m home” 🍂”

WHERE'S YOUR SUMMER TAKING YOU?🌎🤔✈️

Coral reefs off the coast of Koror Island, Palau🇵🇼—located in the Micronesia region in the western Pacific Ocean—could be the answer for you! In our short-term summer program, "Coral Reefs of Palau: Marine Environment, Ecology and Conservation," students learn about coral reef ecology, coastal oceanography, and physics with a view towards understanding threats to coral reefs as well as management and policy issues in the western Pacific. 🐠🦐🌊🐚

Check out the full video and other program details on the BOSP website, and be sure to apply for this remarkable opportunity (or any of our other summer programs!) by SUNDAY, JANUARY 23RD!

"Libraries upon libraries! As a visiting student at Oxford, you get access to all Bodleian Libraries. The Libraries hold more than 13 million printed items and there are 28 in total! Exploring new libraries is a wonderful part of coming to Oxford, since many of Oxford's most famous buildings are actually libraries, including the Radcliffe Camera. Some of them are more lively, some quieter, some are older (housing rare books and special collections!) and some are newer. Once you find your favorite one, it is sure to become your go-to study spot!"

"One of the best parts about studying at Oxford is the beauty of the city. It takes a few weeks to get used to the gorgeous old buildings that surround you on a daily basis (my camera roll is overflowing with pictures of buildings). Unlike Stanford, the University of Oxford does not have a central campus. Instead, colleges are spread out throughout the city. It is truly an amazing experience to live and study in this environment, especially when contrasted with what we are used to at Stanford."

“Last weekend we had our quarterly Bing trip, and this time we got to go to Venice! The cool thing about Venice is that everyone gets around using boats, so our main forms of transportation over the weekend were water taxis and gondolas. During out time there we also visited the neighboring islands of Murano and Burano, which are known for their glass-making and colorful houses. The weather was beautiful and we even experienced the famous ‘acqua alta’, high water in Venice.”

“Many of the Stanford in Florence classes feature interesting field trips to sites in Florence and even other parts of Italy! This quarter, I’m taking Professor Timothy Verdon’s Cathedral and Town Hall course, which meets at a different site every week. We’ve gone to the Duomo, the Duomo Museum, Palazzo Vecchio (the town hall), and various other churches and historical buildings throughout Florence. It’s really special to be able to see the works he is lecturing on in real-time, especially from such an expert on Italian history and art!”

“I love being in a walkable city like Florence! Back on campus or in my hometown in Seattle, you definitely need a car to get around. Here, I can walk to school everyday and I am fortunate to pass by amazing sites along the way like the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, The Uffizzi, and Ponte Vecchio. The Stanford Center in Florence also has a wonderful location in a historic building right along the Arno river. Between classes, I like to find new lunch spots or visit some nearby museums.”

"And that’s it for my takeover! Reflecting on my time in Kyoto, it was full of only amazing memories for me. Ultimately, what made my time so enjoyable were the people I met from my Stanford cohort, host family, and local university and I will be forever grateful for their friendship. So, whichever adventure you go on while abroad, always bring friends to share it with! And if you are curious to learn more about BOSP, feel free to message me or any of the other awesome student ambassadors and we would love to share more about our experiences!"
