"Other students should consider studying abroad because it is the opportunity of a lifetime. There is so much more to learn when you are actually there in another country than what you could ever learn from a textbook or the internet. Studying abroad helps you to gain perspective and understand the world from a new lens."
What did you enjoy most about your program in Paraguay?
I most enjoyed my stay with my host family while in Paraguay. They feel like home because they did everything to make me feel comfortable. By staying with a host family, I had more opportunities that I would not have gotten had I stayed elsewhere. I got to learn so much more about the country of Paraguay by asking questions, visiting local places, and trying new things.

How do you think you have benefited from your study abroad program?
My study abroad experience will impact my future because I have gained a new perspective and interacted with people different from me. A study abroad experience also looks great on your resume and I know that my experience in Paraguay will benefit me in my career later on. I feel that I will be able to empathize better with others because traveling abroad can be sucha humbling experience if you are open to trying new things.
