UG智利选修国外——独特的经验和Privilege!
这篇文章写梅赛德斯塞拉利昂'15，教育在国外同行顾问谁参加了UG智利选修国外过去的这个秋天
After having done a Semester Abroad in Paris, I knew I wanted to try an Elective Abroad, and I am extremely proud and honored to have been part of the first group of students to attend the Elective Abroad – Contemporary Strategic Issues in Chile.This course was organized by Professor Sims and it was truly a learning experience!
It was a long flight travelling from the United States, but definitely worth it.Travelling as a group made it all better being a bonding experience for all of us before we even arrived to the country of Chile.Everyone took advantage of the 12 days making it a unique journey from the first moment we landed starting with a scavenger hunt throughout the major spots of the city.Everyone in Chile was very friendly, welcoming, and well educated.The culture is just wonderful!
Why Chile?智利 is a country that has been growing and developing little by little with all the many assets it has.It already is a great place for entrepreneurs to live in and be part of the culture to make this country a major hub.智利’s government-created program “Start-Up Chile” is just the beginning, and it focuses on attracting early-stage high potential entrepreneurs to start their startups in Chile as a platform to go global.This program has the end goal of positioning Chile as the innovation and entrepreneurship hub of Latin America.This is the perfect environment for a Babson College student, being #1 in Entrepreneurship and so focused on global diversity.This program was just one of the many things I learned while taking classes, doing research and presentations, and visiting well-known companies in the country such as Google, Antofagasta, CellStar, and social enterprise Fundación Origen.It was such a privilege!
In conclusion, my Chile Elective Abroad Experience was wonderful and I would recommend it to every student at Babson!It is a unique experience and incomparable, both a semester abroad and an elective abroad!It will make you a better-rounded individual and will help you grow personally and professionally.
