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 USA

by Mary Jane Webb - Sunday, August 12, 2018, 9:19 PM
 

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!

Emigrant, Mt. USA

by Penelope Price - Wednesday, November 25, 2020, 9:25 PM
 

Emigrant is located halfway between Livingston, Mt. and the Gardiner entrance to Yellowstone, National Park.  It is a small town with one store, one gas station, a saloon, a bank, a post office, a gift store, a laundromat and a few restaurants.  Although it might at first appear insignificant, because of its location on highway 89  people traveling to Yellowstone Park stop on their way.   There are flashing orange lights alerting travelers to slow down as they approach Emigrant. To the left is the store and theYellowstone River  and to the right is the post office and bank and Story Road leading up to the residential community of North Glastonbury.  I love to come home and see Emigrant peak towering behind the town,  and  although it is small, we have everything we need and it peaceful.

It does not have a traditional city centre but instead seven major areas and many local regional centres. Aalto University (technology, economics, art and design) and several major companies are based in Espoo.

Nature is near everywhere in Espoo. The city has a large coastline and about 70 lakes.
