An Enriching, Educational Experience!

Traveling to Ghana has been a rewarding experience like none I've had before. I enjoyed it mostly because of my continuous interactions with Ghanians throughout my stay that allowed me to learn more about our understanding of each other's cultures as well as our cultural differences. Studying in Legon I've had the opportunity to try many delicious meals, explore the city of Accra (and others included in the program), and to create new international networks and friendships that I hope to keep up! Before arriving, I was skeptical about getting around, bargaining, and making new friends in a new environment where I knew no one. However, the overwhelming support of the CIEE staff here in Legon made it impossible for anyone to be lost or left out throughout the entirety of the semester! After arriving, I felt as if I had found a whole new family of friends and colleagues. There were some troubles and bumps along the way as is expected when in a navigating a new environment. Nevertheless, this semester in Legon has been unforgettable and I look forward to returning in the future!
