How did you select your study abroad program in South Africa?

As an African-American I was excited to take advantage of my school’s study abroad programs to return to the motherland. I chose South Africa specifically because I felt that considering our countries’ parallel histories, there were lessons in political resistance and black consciousness that I could learn.

What concerns did you have prior to or during your study abroad experience?

My most major concern was that I would be the only student of color, specifically black student, in the program of which I thankfully wasn’t.
