This summer I interned abroad in Singapore. It was truly an eye-opening experience. It offered me the chance to dive into a new culture while gaining professional skills in a global setting, and learn more about my future career goals. I think students should consider studying abroad because it’s a chance to develop independence and adaptability. Navigating a new environment pushes you out of your comfort zone and fosters personal growth. Being in a different work environment challenges you to think on your feet and develop new problem-solving skills.
