The experience of connecting with someone from another culture and seeing a new city through their eyes–even for such a brief time–is a life experience I will always remember. My advice during your study abroad is to be open to meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. UCEAP brought so many new experiences—academic, cultural, and of course, making new friends. As UCEAP says, the world is full of new and unfamiliar possibilities. Go out and explore the world!
