Nicholas Mattson '23: Studying in the Netherlands Jenny Thu, 08/04/2022 - 12:56

Wilson students are expanding their horizons with international travel and education this summer. Wilson mathematics major, Nicholas Mattson '23, traveled to the Netherlands to take Introduction to Business and International Management.

"My two week adventure in the Netherlands was an amazing experience. I was gifted with the opportunity of seeing the windmills in Zaanse Schans, to getting lost in the city of Amsterdam, sometimes not by choice. The course provided me with the chance to meet people from all across the world, and allowed me to practice skills related to the class. Finally the class for the two weeks was large but you might notice the class is a little smaller as I was cropped out the photo but I promise I was there."
