Studying abroad changed my life in so many ways, but I'm most proud of how it taught me to be appreciative of other cultures. I studied in Milan, Italy for a full semester and traveled all throughout Europe. The Jesuit mission of providing a transformative education came into play - I was able to learn, grow as a person, try new things and make lifelong connections.
