About Elwin

Hi, my name is Elwin, I’m from London in the UK and I’m a Master of Accounting Student here at W&M. I absolutely love to travel, and I spent the five years prior to coming to W&M visiting numerous countries all over the world, including living in Medellin, Colombia for a couple of years to learn Spanish. So hopefully, I can share some advice I’ve learnt about settling into a new place.

Favorite Spot on Campus

My favorite spot on-campus is the amphitheatre behind the business school. It’s lovely to look over the lake on one of the many warm sunny days.

Advice for New Students

My advice to new students would be to give yourself time to settle into life in the US. It always takes a while to feel comfortable when you move home, especially when you move to a new country. So don’t be afraid to talk to people and ask to help if you need it, people will almost always go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Most importantly though, have fun, you’re doing something amazing!
