My Story from Global Study: My best memories revolve around spending time with the fellow students in my apartment. They were mostly Norwegian, so  I got to have fun with them (mostly playing a lot of Mariocart), but they also took interest in learning about the US as well. By the end of the semester, we would all stay up until 4:00AM to watch Baltimore Ravens games live. It was awesome for learning to be a two-way street.

My Advice for Future Students: Try to experience something new every day, even if it's something small. That could be trying a new food, going on a walk to somewhere you haven't been, etc. Bonus points if you take the time to get to know someone new!
