I situated myself in a highly diverse environment, and deepened my knowledge
Diverse school environments in terms of students and courses provided are the reasons why I chose SILS. Having discussions in classes with peers, I discover new perspectives on different topics every day. By recognizing new perspectives provided by peers, I believe understanding of the topic became much deeper. Not to mention, a diverse environment is another strength of SILS. Students have opportunities to meet with people from different backgrounds and cultures in class and outside of class. It helps students to learn and appreciate diversity which I believe is essential to living in a world experiencing globalization. Regarding courses provided, since SILS provides liberal arts education, students can freely choose various courses. One of my favorite things about liberal arts education is how I can discover what I like about it by taking courses that are unfamiliar to me. For example, as a student taking French as my second foreign language, APM Program courses have helped me learn the language and about French-speaking countries themselves.
Lastly, I would like to note that the SILS Curriculum helps you discover what you are passionate about and deepen your knowledge about it, and the study abroad program helps you to be a strong, independent, and knowledgeable person.
