#studyabroadbecause making friends abroad will teach you more about other countries, languages, and cultures than you'll ever learn from a textbook.
When I was in Oman, a group of local college students were tutors for my Arabic class, and we quickly became friends. While we all learned from our cultural differences, we also realized we had much more in common than we do different. They dyed our hands with henna, taught us how to bargain in souqs, and showed us how to eat with our hands. But we also went ice skating, ate popcorn at the movies, and took lots and lots of photos together. #NSLIY #CitizenDiplomacy #IEW2016 @exchangeourworld @nsliy
#studyabroadbecause understanding other cultures fosters tolerance and compassion not just in you but those around you that need it.
When I told people I was traveling to Oman, a country in the Middle East, I heard a lot of prejudicial comments about a country they knew nothing about and most didn't even know existed. Every single comment was proven wrong over and over again while I was in Oman where I was warmly welcomed by its hospitable and kind people. Not only did my own perspective on the Middle East change because of studying abroad, but by sharing my experiences, I helped expand the views of my close-minded friends.

I'm from the island of Puerto Rico, and what you see in the picture is the pure reflection of what I felt during my first snow day. This experience has truly and whole-heartedly been one of the most amazing times of my college career. I couldn't be more grateful for my time there. #StudyAbroadBecause It's essential to learn about our lives and to be able to create our own ideals and values, it's also important to see other perspectives outside of our own home countries. This experience has offered me the opportunity to obtain a wider view of the world. The world we live in is full of opportunities and it is necessary to broaden our horizons and learn about other cultures in order to take advantage of these opportunities. If I hadn't had the chance to experience a different culture, I would have been limiting myself and what I have to offer. #gilmanscholarship #IEW2016 #ThanksGod #France2014
#StudyAbroadBecause the fight for health as an universal human right cannot be fought alone. Throughout my global health research journey here, experts in Morocco, Switzerland and visiting the World Health Organization were all willing to share their expertise with me. They taught me that there is not and should not be borders when it comes to improvements of human rights.

#Studyabroadbecause you will have endless opportunities to experience different cultures in so many different ways! One of the ways I got involved in Indonesia was by playing the gamelan (an Indonesian instrument) for traditional dancers. Not only did I learn how to play a different instrument and perform, but I became really good friends with all the girls in the group. #iew2016 #yesabroad #citizendiplomacy #exchangeourworld

#studyabroadbecause you will meet so many, and learn so much about, people and "one child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world" so share your life with as many as you can. #gilmanscholarship #IEW2016 #citizendiplomacy @ExchangeOurWorld
It's day one of #internationaleducationweek! This week, I want to share with you some of the reasons to study abroad. Studying abroad has changed my life for the better and I want to share a little bit of that with all of you.
#Studyabroadbecause you will become part of a new family. My family was the best part of my exchange. They taught me new things, helped me learn Indonesian, took me so many places, and showed me so much love and kindness. I miss them every day. 💜 #exchangeourworld #yesabroad #citizendiplomacy #IEW2016
