Personal Stories

It’s fun being among such a large and diverse community of students and scholars. Not only diverse in terms of nationality, but also in terms of interests and fields of study. In my first six months at Harvard, I had both become an intern as an Office of Technology Fellow, and had acted in a Shakespeare play run by the student drama society. Such are the possibilities at this institution.

Being an international scholar may also be an amenity in the sense that you are given a chance to live, learn, bloom, grow, share, and contribute all the unique lived experience that only you possess and collect over a passage of time. You live with you. You get an amazing opportunity to know you. I think being away from home is enriching.
