I learned about a different culture in various aspects. The professional world, the shopping world, the food world, the social world, and simply navigating. Only go to this trip if you are interested in learning more about yourself and how to build a life outside of America. See how you would live and how you feel in various spaces. I have traveled before, but never for a professional trip. I found this interesting because it felt like "after work" I can go and do various activities. I guess I learned more abou thow I am on a fundamental basis and who I'm not.

I learned that, although my major isn't exactly business-oriented, having a specialization in anything can be beneficial to any company or organization - even if you can't see how that might be. For example, as a creative writing major I wasn't exactly sure what I would get out of our meetings with various companies, but I learned that my overall skills as a writer and a creative can play a significant role in a variety of departments. You don't know where you might fit in unless you make an effort to learn more and make connections.

One of the most important lessons I learned on this program is the value of being experimental. Stepping out of my comfort zone, trying new things, and embracing unfamiliar experiences opened doors to personal growth and discovery. I would encourage future students to approach their study abroad adventures with an open mind and a willingness to explore beyond their boundaries.
