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.

City, State, Country

by Robin Bourke - Monday, November 27, 2017, 3:26 AM
 

North Richmond is a semi-rural suburb of Richmond in the State of New South Wales, Australia.

67 Kilometres north-west of Sydney central business district.  The local government area is called the Hawkesbury.  The Hawkesbury river is 5 minutes walk and the Blue Mountains are 45 minutes drive north.

I love it here because of the silence, the green grasses and the seeing the horses and cattle.

Surprising, last week the World Polo Championships were were held just across the road.

Lowell, Maine, USA

Lowell is a tiny town of 300 people, very rural. We have a beautiful new town hall that incorporates our volunteer ambulance and fire departments. They are open 12 hours per week!  The nearest stores and gas stations are 12 miles away. I have lived here for 19 years and love the peace and elemental life surrounding our home!

Livingston, Montana: USA

This Park County seat an hour north on 89 S from the Teton Ranch headquarters is a great challenge besides the Yellowstone river beauty gracing the valley with mountains on all sides. My son graduated from high school here & lives in Billings, the largest city of the state one and a half hours off 90W to the East with family I can see at times, so I love opportunity here in this small city with many Keepers past & present one can see sporadically & by God's grace, a glorious future for all.

Oslo capitol of Norway

by Kari Hedenstad - Friday, August 11, 2017, 9:39 AM
 

Oslo city is the Capitol of Norway. With the surrounding area there are approximately 1 million people living there. So it is not a big city. Oslo is located in the south of Norway at the end of a fjord, Oslofjorden. Oslo city is surrounded by beautiful hills and forests, a large nature area for recreation as hiking, swimming and skiing.

Gardiner, Montana, USA

by Jane Hohmann - Thursday, August 13, 2020, 1:03 PM
 

The population of Gardiner is about 870 people and this is why I like it.  During the summer there are many more people in town who are tourists.  Gardiner is known as the Northern Gate to Yellowstone National Park, visited by about 1 million people each year.  Gardiner is very different when it's not summer tourist season. It is a small and friendly community, located at the southern end of Paradise Valley (the Yellowstone River Valley).  It is between mountains, and the Yellowstone River runs through it.  It's beautiful, and you can walk from one end to the other.  You can also see elk regularly there--you have to be careful not to hit them when you're driving!

Lafayette, Louisiana is a beautiful city that is very family oriented. With festivals, local art walks, cajun cuisine, and live Cajun music it is an exciting place to live in. the people are down to earth and friendly. They know how to make everyone feel at home.

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.
