Hi everyone!

My name is Samantha and I'm from Ohio (USA). I'm moving to Zurich in August for two reasons: 1. my fiance will be working in Zurich (finishing his MA at St. Gallen this winter) and 2. I will be studying at the University of Bern for an MA in Political and Economic Philosophy.

I'll be commuting every day from Zurich to Bern, but at least I'll use that time to study!

I'm excited about living and studying in Switzerland but I'm also very nervous. I don't speak German (I've only just started the first level of Rosetta Stone German) and this will be the first time I've ever lived abroad.

Nice to meet you all!

Samantha

Hi Samantha, welcome to the forum - and (soon) to Switzerland.
