While in Europe, I learned about and experienced firsthand the differences in the healthcare systems across nations. I’ve been actively applying my knowledge from abroad to my classes at Cornell. It’s so amazing to approach my learning from multiple perspectives.

My reason for studying abroad was to experience a different culture and to gain a life skill from it. By going to Hong Kong, I was able to pursue Mandarin classes and also experience a very different culture.
