Studying abroad in Morocco and Greece introduced me to friends from many different backgrounds who expanded my life perspective beyond the Emory bubble. They became my abroad families, and they continue to influence my worldview today.
For every study abroad trip, there is always one factor that is impossible to prepare for: the friends who will be studying alongside you. Whether they are newly made friends or ones brought from home, they will define your experience one way or another.
The following interview with Leah Michalove, an alumna of the SIT Morocco study abroad program on Multiculturalism and Human Rights, was conducted just after she was named a prestigious Rhodes Scholar. We caught up with Leah to hear about her experience abroad and how it contributed to her future studies at the University of Oxford.
