I loved getting involved on campus. We worked with a university group that discussed and helped present ideas and solutions to the Syrian refugee crisis. I enjoyed the culture a lot more than the academic experiences because I felt I learned a lot about myself and about other cultures while abroad.

The people that I met were the most kind hearted, genuine, and fun people I am ever likely to meet. Everyone I came across was accepting and enthusiastic about getting to know me and my story. By far the greatest thing anyone that studies in Brno and stays at the Vinarska dormitory will take away are the friendships and camaraderie you are bound to create whilst abroad. I would trade the Sistine Chapel for some of the friends I have made in Brno. I greatly hope that I will have the opportunity in the future to see them again.

My perspective on situations, people, and the world has completely shifted due to my time abroad. I was fully immersed in Czech culture, as well as the cultures of students from all around the world. Nothing will ever compare to the experiences and opportunities that Brno had to offer. It is essential to be completely open to the idea of meeting new people and experiencing new things first hand.
