Favorite Food in Dillin: The Burrito Bar

Best Linfield Memory: I was a double major in political science and communication arts.  My junior year I got to travel to the United Kingdom for a January term class. The class was focusing on contemporary British politics.  I had never been outside of the United States before this trip. It was so exciting to not only learn about the United Kingdom political system, but to explore cities like London, Cardiff and Oxford.  If one global experience wasn’t enough, my senior year my debate partner and I got to travel to China to compete in one of the first collegiate debate tournaments in that country. I never thought that I would ever get the opportunity to see two countries while I was in college.
