Presidential Debates, a Learning Experience for College Students

For decades, presidential debates have been taking place on college campuses, including Friday night’s Democratic debate in New Hampshire.

But they also provide students an opportunity to be directly involved in the national political conversation. VOA’s Esha Sarai traveled to St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, to find out more about the student experience just ahead of a key primary for the 2020 presidential election.
