The most rewarding part of the program was proving to myself that I could live and function by myself in a different country. I was able to acclimate to a completely different diet, method of transportation, and cultural system. It was empowering, and I feel a lot more confident in my ability to live on my own and be an independent individual.

I learned that I was able to adjust better by reaching out to the programs available to me - the International Student Association provided so many opportunities to meet other people and get assistance with adjusting to a very different classroom/university system. It was difficult for me to reach out due to my social anxiety, so I leaned on my flatmates to help me figure things out initially. However, once I got comfortable reaching out to others, I had a much better experience.
