Personal Stories
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.

Try to be open-minded and open to new experiences and trying new things: some you might like, some you might not. See your time here as not only for the main priority of doing well and getting your degree but use it also as an opportunity to educate yourself and grow more socially and culturally.
