Coming to NYU Prague, I was met with a new type of work. Since I was taking my humanity courses, I was now asked to … Continue reading Caught in a Covid-19 Tornado
by Anagha Mahesh This past week, my family came to visit me in Prague. I really wanted this trip to be a unique experience for them and for them to not simply feel like tourists in this city I have come to call home.
