  1. As an international student, I found this super useful. I haven’t had a haircut since arriving here, so your suggestion is really helpful. The layout is also visually appealing, and navigating through the story was smooth. I would suggest adding lines on the map connecting the different locations to the College of Wooster, with the distances labeled. With that addition, your story map would be a guide I’d confidently recommend to any international freshman.
