Glossary of Student Cities

Printer-friendly version

Our SU Online students come from all over the world.  Let's build a glossary about the amazing cities that you are all from! 

Add an entry to this glossary for your city.  It can be the city you grew up in, the city you currently reside, or your favorite city.  Please follow these directions:

  • Concept: Your concept should be titled "City, Country" or "City, State, Country."  For example: Paris, France or Chicago, Illinois, USA
  • Description: Describe your city in a few sentences.  Is your city large or small?  Located on the water or high up in the mountains?  What is your city known for?  Why do you love this city?  Add a photo of your city to your description.
  • Keyword(s): Add the state and country to the keywords so that others can search entries by state and country.
  • Attachment (optional): Add a word document with additional information about your city. 

Look at the Chicago, Illinois, USA entry by Molly Kelsen (test student) for an example.

El Paso, TX is a very large city.  It's situated in the western corner of Texas and is separated from Juarez, Mexico by the Rio Grande River. El Paso is also on the border between Texas and New Mexico.  The Franklin Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountains, are beautiful and keep us safe from tornadoes!

Chicago is one of the major metropolitan areas in the United States.  It is located in the northern mid-west of the US on the lower west side of Lake Michigan.  Chicago is a flat sprawling city that is known as the birthplace of American architecture.  The architecture is one of the reasons why this is one of my favorite cities in America.

Pittsburgh skyline

Pittsburgh is a great city.  I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and love its beautiful architecture, elegant bridges and three rivers.  Pittsburgh used to be one of the best cities in America to raise a family.  I haven't checked the rankings recently, but I am sure it is still an amazing place for families.
