Evan Corrigan - 3805 Miles To Leipzig
Yana Immis
Mr. Evan Corrigan will start his M.Sc. (Master of Science) Finance program at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management in Leipzig in September 2022.
I wish him the best of luck with his studies and ask him a few questions before his relocation from the USA to Germany!
1. Why did you choose HHL Leipzig?
Truthfully, it was in large part due to the fact that I reached out to you on that Quora response about another school. I was impressed with what the school had to offer!
2. Why did you choose Finance as a major?
I chose finance as a major because I have worked in the finance sector for the past two years and it is a nice extension of my undergraduate at Fitchburg State University. There I graduated from a business administration program. I also have taken a heightened interest in both personal finance and investing, much of that was spurred on by the changes in life and spending during the onset of COVID in 2020. Finance is like engineering for money, and I find that appealing.
3. Why did you choose Germany out of so many options to study abroad?
I have been to Germany before: I studied abroad during my undergraduate studies at FSU. I did this in 2017 and I studied at Hochschule Rhine Waal University of Applied Sciences in Kamp-Lintfort, NRW. The summer after I graduated from FSU, I returned to Germany to work at Camp Adventure in Walsrode, Lower Saxony. I knew that I wanted to go to Germany once more while I am still in my 20's, and I decided that it would be for school.
4. What do you plan to bring with you from the USA to Germany?
A lot...I am shipping my car with a good portion of my luggage in it. I have already got myself an International Driving Permit from AAA, and I intend to drive from Düsseldorf, to Gummersbach, to Mainz, to Thuringia, then finally to Leipzig. It'll be good fun.
