Bolli Steinn Huginsson, an exchange student from the University of Iceland, spent the fall 2021 semester at the University of Minnesota. He is finishing his philosophy degree in Reykjavik this semester.
"Iceland is a very small country. Although it is a good country to live in, I wanted to expand my horizon and try living in an environment where there was more variety and where different cultures meet," Huginsson said. "I feel like the U.S. doesn’t have one specific culture. It’s where so many different cultures come together in one place. You can experience that in the big cities. You can go and have some authentic Palestinian food and then the next day you can have some authentic food from Africa. It’s just a place where so many different groups of people come together."
