DO IT

I met people (in the program) that I will probably keep in touch with for a long time. It is very important that when you go abroad, you make an effort to immerse yourself in the foreign cultures. Try new foods, meet new people, do new things, attempt to speak a foreign language, etc. Studying abroad should be a requirement. Living in such a different culture is incredibly exciting and intellectually stimulating and MUST be experienced by every student.
