Why I Enjoyed My Time Here And Why I Think You Will As Well

I decided to come to Saudi Arabia for a semester at KFUPM and an internship at Aramco with one main goal: to grow as a person. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone, live in a completely different environment, and really change my past self. In the end, I got exactly that and more.

Whether you're coming here to explore Saudi culture, for the academic opportunities, or just for the internship experience, there’s something here for everyone. But what really made this experience special for me was the people, especially the other exchange students.

There’s something unique about the kind of people who choose to come here. It’s not the typical study abroad destination, and that means the people you meet are curious, driven, and open to growth. We all came from different places, but being in this environment together created strong bonds. I grew so much just by being around them.

Being in a completely new setting like this allows you to have a change of environment to really become an improved version of yourself.
