Hi everyone! My name is Abzal, and I’m a junior at Denison University, studying Global Commerce and Economics. I was born and raised in Kazakhstan and moved to the U.S. for college. Having never been to the States before, I experienced culture shock and discovered so many new things.
As the only student from Kazakhstan at Denison, I didn’t have the typical international student experience where you bond closely with others from your home country.

This year we received twenty-two submissions from students’ experiences worldwide!
