My favorite part of this program was gaining a perspective of a culture that is similar, yet vastly different to ours. Singapore is unique in the fact it is a cultural and historical melting pot to all the countries surrounding it but also very westernized in comparison. It is and has always been hub of Southeast Asia which is why it allowed for a wonderful look into an end product of cultural blending as well as many opportunities to travel to nearby countries.

I learned that it is easy to make travel plans. It seems like a daunting task, but once the flights and hotels are booked, all that has to be done is simply going. I also learned to adjust to the different standards that Singapore has for education. Singaporeans are extremely competitive and the education system is difficult. I had to work really hard to keep up with a system that Singaporeans had been in all of their lives.

The best part about this program is it offers a challenging academic experience while also combining an amazing cultural immersion within South East Asia.
