Dubai Study Tour
This course ended up being the most unique course I had ever experienced when compared to my other academic courses. Not only didn't this class have a focus on business, but it also dipped into themes of history, architecture, art, and philosophy. Many of the topics covered in this course were very new to me which caused me to struggle in this course at first as I had trouble understanding what was needed to receive a good mark for the course. The final project had very loose guidelines which I wasn't used to. However, as the second half of the course approached, I changed my focus to what I was looking to get out of the class as opposed to focusing on grades.

This course involved a 10 day study tour to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This ended up being one of my most rewarding experiences to date. I was able to focus my studies on areas that didn’t necessarily overlap with the business themes that I was so used to. The city of Dubai was amazing, as our class was exposed to a paradise of a city with luxuries all around us from fancy cars to mansions, to unique architecture to artificial islands! The students and faculty in the class itself made the experience special too.Throughout this trip, we were able to go to multiple museums and art shows throughout the UAE. My experience in Dubai has made it my new favorite city in the world!
