Diving into the unknown with family a 1000 miles away was scary at first. But new connections and friends made the experience a little less frightening and I am thankful that I made this decision.

I was afraid of the unknown. I was also exited, but I felt overwhelmed by all the new challenges that I knew I would have to face. I was eager to learn but at the same time I was afraid of not being able to adapt my self to a new and completely different life stile.

From time to time, I need a new challenge.  Living in a new country is a way out of your comfort zone and forces you to learn new things.  I love these challenges!

As soon I came here I was a little nostalgic of leaving my friends and family in Colombia. It took me a while to adapt but now I know great people and I am use to be here.

I was scared and excited at the same time. I had to leave everything I was familiar with in order to come study here. The experience has made me grow and learn. I miss my family and friends. I’ve had some amazing experiences here and met some wonderful friends. Bittersweet!

It’s hard to choose only one word to describe a mix of feelings I had when first moved to another country. Initially, there was a lot of fear, uncertainty and challenges, which later turned into opportunities, learning, and personal growth. I would define it as a life-changing experience!

It is exciting and it can also be hard. But it is also a memorable and precious experience that not everyone will go through in their life.

Adventure is the word that represents a new life in a new country

It’s been an overwhelming experience in a good and bad sense ☺️ An open-minded experience, very rich in its cultural context. Being an international student change your life forever. When you realize the world is so big and you have access to many possibilities after this experience, your way of thinking changes.

New life, new friends,new culture! I think the most exciting thing to do in a new place is to mix with other cultures, and show the best of yours.

Set my mind open to new experiences, people, places, weather, ways of life and living. Let’s make the most out of this, always holding my home-land-town very dear to me.

“This would be both an exciting and challenging experience” The thing I love the most about learning from different cultures and pursuing new goals is the feeling of being alive. This is why I decided to go after a graduate level degree outside of my home country.

Mind opening adventure. I think that the best way to learn and to enjoy life is to accommodate to new contexts. It is challenging and takes much resilience.

The idea sounds exiting to me. I’ve always been eager to learn how people do and understand every day things in other places of the globe.
Learning how diverse ideas we can have about things such as social life, use of time, language, food and so on is what I value most from my experience as an international student.
