Itzel Polo Mendieta, a 22-year-old immigration advocate, spoke to an audience of mostly Elon University students about her work with The Other DREAMERs, a group of young Mexican migrants who have been deported from the United States.

Everywhere you turn there are a number of places to eat, and all of them look delicious. Then you just cross your fingers that it will not hurt your wallet.

The University of St Andrews has one of the leading reputations for golf, enjoyed by pro golfers and casual golfers alike. The town has dozens of golf shops sprawled about North Street and hotels, which cater to golfers conveniently located near the West Sands and the Links.
DAKAR, SENEGAL — Goree, a picturesque island just two kilometers from Dakar’s harbor, provided my first refreshing escape from the busy, dirty city of Dakar to a serene, beautiful island still dotted with colonial era buildings and cobblestone paths. The air is clearer, with a fresh Atlantic breeze coming off the ocean.
