University of Ghana Campus

We went on a tour of campus today and saw the building that we will be taking classes in and all the little restaurants we can go to.  
This is the International House where I will be taking History of Ghana

This is the courtyard inside the International House


This is a beautiful fountain on campus near the Economic Building and Bookstore 


This is the main gate of campus where we will be trekking through everyday after our ride to school

The tour of campus was really fun but I have a feeling I will be lost the first week of classes cause the campus is giant! We were told that it is so big because they wanted to own land to have rights to it so most of the land isn't even used for the university. So thats campus where I will be spending most of my time during the week! 
We also spent most of the day learning about Ghanian culture/customs, Twi (chwee) which is their native language here. Some Twi we learned...

Akwaaba -> Welcome

Wo nso saa -> You too
Pa yie -> Safe Journey
