ISAP Program Evaluation Testimonial
What impact has your study abroad experience had on your life and studies?
|
My nomadic nature has been heightened, and I am looking into potentially returning to the same university or another in New Zealand to pursue a PhD.

How will you keep your study abroad experience alive back in the US and Fordham?
|
My kiwi friends have all expressed interest in visiting the states and I do plan on returning to NZ. This has made me view my own country and many others through a different lens of cultural relativism and made me more aware of my own ethnocentrism (and how to counteract it!).

What suggestions or advice would you give to a prospective study abroad student?
|
Absolutely. 100%. Those jokes of "Oh did you study abroad or something?" are made by people who are simply jealous that you had an incredible opportunity. You'll learn more about yourself and the rest of the world than you ever would otherwise.
