NYU is 'In and of the City' and 'In and of the World.' What does the concept of a global network university mean to you? How do you think studying in New York City, Abu Dhabi, or one of NYU's global sites would change you as a person and equip you to build cross-cultural relationships at NYU and beyond?
A global university encompasses the sole theme of diversity. I strive to diversify myself through experiencing the unfamiliar. The great thing about NYU is that taking risks is encouraged. Risking disease to study in Ghana or risking parental disownment by changing majors, unfamiliar is normal. The more cultures I become familiar with through study abroad programs, volunteering efforts, classes about cultural development, and being in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, the more readily and confidently I can give of myself. I believe that by being apart of a global community will better prepare me for life after college.
