I would do this again

Taking a risk to live in a foreign country by yourself can have many challenges, one of them being making connections. Beyond Academy gave me an opportunity to meet friends with whom I developed extremely meaningful relationships, and that was a helpful foundation to remain in a comfortable headspace to take advantage of all the guidance Beyond Academy offered me while I was in Tokyo. If I had the opportunity to participate in the Beyond Academy program again, I would without a doubt, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in global studies.
