Attending a large university in a city was an experience completely different from Middlebury which was great. Learning how to navigate a city and an entirely new country was very eye opening for me.

The grass is always greener. That being said, I saw things I'd never seen before, I met incredibly interesting and diverse people even if almost all of them were not local. Got a new perspective on life and viable alternatives to the American mindset of track setting and being obligated to do certain things until you're as old a...
