By Nate WybengaToday was a free day, so we didn’t have classes. Many people went into Amsterdam for the day. I also went to downtown Amsterdam, and using the museum card given to us for the course, visited the Vincent Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, and a modern art museum for free of charge. Tomorrow we are going to separate into 2 groups of students and travel to different cities to stay with host families for the weekend. A chance to get good homemade food! But the weekend, I’m sure, will be a terrific opportunity to learn more about life in the Netherlands.

About
Few countries exist where human activities have exerted a greater influence in the shaping of the landscape than the Netherlands. With daily field excursions and detailed topographic maps, this off-campus course studies the richly varied and historically layered cultural landscapes of the Netherlands. The land reclamation and environmental preservation technologies used over many centuries are a part of this investigation. In this way the complex interrelationships between society, technology and land may be explored.
