Q1: What are your primary reasons for pursuing an exchange experience? How does an exchange experience fit with your academic and career goals?
As an exchange student, I will learn a different perspective on business issues from the other country aside from my own, and through the help of the program it will increase the value of my degree as overseas study is evidence of independence, adaptability and a willingness to take on a challenge. Also the exchange program will let me have the privilege to improve my foreign language skill through my everyday interaction with the locales as well as with their foreign classmates. Moreover I will have the opportunity to be fully immersed into a new culture. The experience of living in a foreign country must be rewarding and memorable. I'll learn how to be flexible and sensitive to other perspectives, and gain a perspective that can't be fully understood until I'm out of my own comfort zone and living, studying, and traveling in a foreign culture.
