Why did you choose to study abroad?

I choose to study abroad in the US because I wanted to live the American college experience.

What did you learn about yourself?

I have learn a lot! Meeting new friends and new people in general have made me a more open minded person and I grew a lot academically!

What was one of your favorite parts of the program?

The courses I got to take, game days and dance club! Living what NC state students get to live, we are totally immersed. Talking to my professors, all of them have an admirable career and are willing to help you.

Did you live on campus or off campus? What was your experience like?

On campus (Wolfvillage). It was amazing, I had the sweetest roommates I could ever have gotten. Plus, it was really convenient to live on campus.

Did you have a meal plan while you were at NC State? Do you have advice for incoming students on choosing a meal plan?

I did, I would recommend getting one, it’s just easier in general.

What advice do you have for future incoming exchange students?

Make the most out of it! Time flies when you’re here, go to the games, talk to people in your classes and join organizations, there are a ton, you will find one you like!

Did you take part in any NC State traditions or organizations?

I joined the dance club “dance life”. Allowed me to meet new people and keep doing what I love. We had a showcase that was great!

Would you do it again?

Yes!! A 100 times!
