+ + + JAYHAWKS ABROAD My advice to serpentine about to go abroad is to go into this adventure with an open mind! Be flexible and take advantage of every opportunity you are given because when you even going to be able to do this again? One night in the dorms, some of my Hungarian friends taught me how to make Goulash, a traditional Hungarian dish. I will always remember this moment because it wasn't just a monument or a tourist attraction; it was a unique and immersive experience. Studying abroad in college is one of the best opportunities you will get to explore the world. Not only can you learn more about cultures found outside of the United States but you can also discover something new about yourself. One of my favorite things to do in London was visiting the museums, where I was able to connect with strangers through our mutual appreciation for art and history. The most rewarding part for me was being able to experience how life at another university was. It was amazing to engage in class discussions on Foreign Policy and other issues affecting the world in a culture and classroom so different from the one I was used to. I was studying Persian language during my summer abroad, so my class schedule consisted of grammar, conversation and literature courses. It was an intensive immersion program, so I was in classes for about four hours a day and it was also able to practice my language on the bus on the way to school, with my host family, and at the bazaar outside of class. While this may sound like a lot, it really didn't feel overwhelming eventually it began to feel normal and I really got used to speaking in Persian in my everyday life.
