I chose to study abroad because I had never been outside of the east coast before, let alone the continental U.S., and wanted to learn about people and perspectives that I wouldn't have the chance to experience otherwise. I also love history and ancient cultures, so I really wanted to go to someplace with a really deep history.

As a STEM major, I chose to study abroad because I wanted to experience a different culture. As an electrical engineering major, I could potentially work in a field where I'll be creating tech that may impact the world. Because of that, I think it's important to understand more about the world before figuring out how to help make it a better place.

I choose to study abroad because it was my first opportunity to visit another continent, and was looking to go with people around my age. I had always wanted to study abroad, but wasn’t sure if I was able to due to the lab requirements for my major, so when I had the chance to I ran with it!
