For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How did college life change when you went abroad?<\/li>\n<li>What was it like to compute in another culture?<\/li>\n<li>Did scientific research take on a different meaning?<\/li>\n<li>In what ways did you become a part of the community?<\/li>\n<li>What things about America were hard to explain to your colleagues abroad?<\/li>\n<li>What things about their culture were difficult for you to understand?<\/li>\n<li>What did you miss\/will you miss the most?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;d also like to encourage you to write-up a brief essay on your experience, so that we can share this with CS students who will consider studying abroad in the future.
