Going abroad has always been a priority of mine in making the most of my college experience. Both of my parents studied at UCLA and both cited not going abroad as one of their largest regrets. The worldly experience has given me a new perspective and ability to understand outside cultures in a much better way. However, my favorite aspect of this entire experience has been my newfound ability to step back and appreciate how incredible it is that I was able to live and interact in a foreign environment and have such a unique experience that has permanently changed my outlook on life.
