where there’s a common ground, there is a friend. Edlison and I met in class when coursework was assigned. He is from Africa and studies engineering as well. He is very passionate about his work as well as life, and is always excited to travel. He was my exploring partner around campus as we discovered that the number one park was right on our campus. It was a great experience as I got to learn about his culture, as well as share mine and get a few instagram-worthy pictures. That is the best thing about study abroad, being able to meet others, as well as work with them to make deadlines. Who knew the start of a friendship could be ‘I’m so confused in this class, can you help ?’
