Want to know the benefits of studying abroad first hand? The following interviews provide insight and opinions about the personal journey of actual students that have studied abroad.
"As an extracurricular activity, I participated in something called “The English Corner.” I would stand in the middle of the square and random students would come to practice their English with me. I could relate to that way of learning because I also sought people out to practice my Chinese, and participating in “The English Corner” helped me to meet Chinese friends. We went to the movies; I was invited to people’s houses, and it was a thrilling experience overall." -Yanisha Brown
