Glossary of Student Cities


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.

Sacramento is the state capital (throat chakra) of California and the oldest incorporated city in California. It is the 6th largest city in California with a population estimated at 521,769. Planned and founded by John Sutter Jr. in 1849, the city was named after the Sacramento River. The Sacramento River, and the Sacramento Valley where Sacramento is located, were named after the Roman Catholic Eucharist by Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga.
