Personal Stories

The people here are the best part about Harvard. Never be afraid to be vulnerable, ask questions, and learn from others. You will learn more from late night chats or asking mentors than you ever will from Google or your classes.

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.
