You just moved from your home country into a university full of strangers from all over the world, left your friends and family behind, and what is even worse: you now face the challenge to make new friends. What is the best way to do so? Is small talk good or bad? And how do you know when you have reached a deeper connection with someone?
On this first episode Mauricio talks to Marhaba Committee member and overall friendship genius Teodora Hristovska about the issues new students face as soon as they arrive to university. Popping the Bubble is an attempt to bring up topics that are relevant to the NYU Abu Dhabi community, as well as sharing the deep conversation that are too often left forgotten at the lunch table.
