Megan Maurice Studying off-campus can be one of the most valuable learning experiences, opening your eyes to new perspectives in the surroundings of a different culture. It is the chance of a lifetime, and you feel lucky just to be there. I would always be thinking, for when is there ever a chance like this? You have the privilege of bringing home the complex knowledge of a unique culture along with unforgettable memories. I am also thankful that I had the opportunity to travel to many different places all over India!
