My Experience Abroad:
Within International Relations, Mongolia plays a crucial role in acting as a power broker between Russia and China. Further, the Soviet Union left a lasting mark on Mongolian society through script which I was able to witness walking through the city square and reading the signs in Cyrillic. However, this intertwined history goes back to the myths which formed this region; Alexander Nevsky is known for his relationship with the 'Golden Horde' of the Mongol Empire. Needless to say, learning about past Mongolian civilizations and current Mongolian society allowed me to apply the studies from my coursework to real life.
