Today on Good Sex @ NYU, Danielle converses with Meghan Kelley, LCSW at NYU London Counseling and Wellness Services and Aisling Leen, Student Life Coordinator. Meghan has worked with NYU students for over 15 years as an off-campus therapist and then as the full time global wellness counselor in London since 2019. Aisling worked at NYU for two years in the student life coordinator position where she advises students, organizes cultural trips, and helps to build community at NYU London.
In this episode, Danielle learns more about the student experience abroad. The group discusses how the pressures put on students by family and friends to have an amazing experience when living in a new culture can cause some stress and challenges. From not finding the Doritos you like to not having your support network in the same time zone, Danielle, Meghan and Aisling unpack all the highs and lows of living in a new place, particularly when navigating pub culture and the differences in dating and sex as compared to NYC.
