My exchange semester during my Gap Year in Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada : (Fall 2023)
From August, 25th to December, 20th of 2023, I have been in Trois-Rivières, a quebecer city in Canada.
​
Out there, I have followed two master level courses about material structures and properties, material synthesis and method of characterization and finally one "license" level course concerning water management at the watershed level.
​
These courses were really instructive. Firstly because I didn't know a lot about materials excepting some thermochemistry and cristallization notions adressed in preparatory class and secondly because the watershed course gave me a insight of water management from the geographer and regulatory point of view while at N7 we study water sciences (not management), with a scientific approach.
​
Not to mention that I have also travelled a lot. I have visited numerous cities and places such as : Toronto, Montreal, New York, Ottawa, Québec City, Mont-Tremblant (below), Niagara Falls, Omega animals park, I have witnessed whales breathing in Tadoussac in the St-Laurent river. I have been amazed by canadian nature and hikes.
​
As far I am concerned, this trip has been an opportunity to discover a new continent, a new country and a new culture (even a new way to eat =)). It enabled me to adapt myself in a new and unknown situation, it allowed me to meet new people and make some new friends and overall it made me realize that I am able to travel, get through this ne situation and plan every details. It opened my mind and also my will to make new trips and discover other countries.
