Surroundings
Montgomery, Alabama, is a vibrant, diverse city with a population of more than 230,000 residents. It's the capital of Alabama and has a deep, rich history. Montgomery is in the middle of a renaissance, with a downtown that is booming. Most of the coolest developments are growing along the Riverwalk, where you'll find awesome new restaurants, entertainment venues, baseball and so much more. In the corner of the Riverfront Park, you'll find The Amphitheater that seats about 6,000 people and hosts a steady stream (pardon the pun) of concerts, plays and special events. With the Alabama River directly behind the stage, it's doubtful you'll find a concert venue with a more spectacular view. Montgomery has a thriving arts scene. What may be the greatest Shakespeare Festival outside of the London's Globe Theater is just down the road; it draws actors from all over the world and their productions are spectacular. You'll also find galleries, ballet, concert venues — as much entertainment as your studies will allow. If you're into the outdoors, Montgomery has awesome access to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course, there are tons of hiking and biking trails and there is always the river.If you are looking to get away, Montgomery's central location makes it an easy jumping-off-point to the mountains, the beach and bigger cities like Birmingham, Atlanta or Nashville.

안녕하세요! 지난 10월에 미국에와서 현재 4개월차된 학생입니다
현재 오번대학교 몽고메리 캠퍼스에서 ESL 프로그램을 듣고 있습니다 학교 시설은 최대한 이곳 환경에 맞게 편리하게 되어 있습니다 기숙사를 신청하신 분들은 시간표를 확인해서 warhawk transit 을 이용해 가까운 walmart나 East chase mall을 갈 수 있습니다. 또 The nest라는 거주자들을 위한 쉼터 같은 건물이 있는데 그곳은 최근에 지어져서 굉장히 깔끔한 시설과 작은 매점이 있습니다 혹시나 Campus off 에 지내실 분들은 montgomery transit 이 다니는 쪽에 거주하시거나 혹은 국제면허증, 직접 여기서 취득하는 방법을 이용해서 차를 타시는 것을 권장합니다 Downtown쪽에는 횡단보도가 있거나 버스가 잘 다니는 반면 이 AUM은 그렇지 않기 때문에 교통수단에 대해선 사전에 준비를 하시는 것을 권장합니다. 선생님들은 모두 친절하시고 좋은 분들입니다 essay를 쓰거나 모르는 부분이 있을 때 세심하게 봐주시거나 이야기를 할때 귀담아 들어주시는 등 선생님과 친구같이 지낼 수 있습니다 영어 수업은 Reading Grammer Speaking 으로 나눠져있고 토플에 나오는 문제들 같이 수업을 진행합니다 Essay를 쓴다거나 스피킹을 할때 주제를 정해서 말하기를 한다던가 등등,, 방과후 액티비티는 Eastchase mall을 가서 쇼핑을 하거나 볼링, 영화관 등등을 할 수 있습니다 이 또한 학교 버스로는 시간대를 잘 선택해서 갈수는 있지만 그 외에는 우버 혹은 차를 타야만 갈 수 있습니다 추가로 이 몽고메리지역에는 현대라는 회사로 인해 많은 한국분들이 살고 계십니다 그렇기때문에 한식당이 4개에서 5개 정도 있고 서울식품이라는 곳에서 한국 식품을 살 수 있습니다 곧 H마트도 들어온다고 하는데 계속 미뤄지고 있어서 확실하진 않습니다 주말관광으로는 3시간 정도 걸리는 애틀랜타와 4시간 정도 걸리는 플로리다 2시간 정도 걸리는 버밍햄 등등이 있고 애틀랜타를 보통 많이 가십니다 H마트와 다양한 한식당이 있어서 보통 주말을 이용해 많이들 가십니다 추가로 제가 이곳에서 갑상선기능저하증이란 병을 발견했습니다 다행히 학교보험으로 인해 많은 돈이 커버가 되었고 제가 낸 돈은 첫 진료비와 다달이 내는 약값이 전부입니다 외부보험보단 학교보험을 하시길 추천합니다
