My Experience Abroad:
I was born and raised in Europe, experiencing the business environment first-hand through the start-up and non-profit I co-founded. Attending Wharton gave me great insight into the way business works in the US. However, it wasn't until I went to Hong Kong for 8 weeks that I understood what a global perspective even is. I was fascinated to discover the local opinion on Economy and International Relations and I know that I would've never discovered that insight if I were reading the news or a book on the subject.
Other Highlights:
-
Making life-long friendships on a foreign continent
-
Meeting incredible alumni that later became close mentors
-
Exploring and experiencing a new culture first-hand
