My name is Whitney Lauritsen and I am...or was by the time you read this...one of two Resident Assistants at Emerson College's amazing program at a CASTLE in the Netherlands. I created this page on April 17, 2003, 13 days before I left the Castle (tear).
 
The program is absolutely fantastic and if you're visiting this site as a future student, you should be very excited.
 
I designed this site in order to share some of my personal advice and experiences, as well as that of other "Castle Dwellers". Follow the navigation column on your left to explore the site, and please feel free to contact me via email at whitney_lauritsen@emerson.edu if you have any comments, suggestions, or additions.
 
Some Castle dwellers (you'll hear that term a lot), upon a discussion of this site, have told me that they learned all they needed about the program once they arrived, in other words, they don't think this site is necessary. I agree with them in part, because I definitely had a successful experience without much advice and information. However, I would have loved this site, and there are many here now who would have as well. So, I leave it up to you. This site is available to relieve anxiety and help prepare you, if you choose to read it.
