Meet Ahmed Alfaraj, an Electrical Engineering student, reflecting on his journey through the
#KFUPM Study Abroad Program at
#Georgia_Tech.
"My exchange experience helped me connect with students from around the world. On my very first day at Georgia Tech, I made friends with peers from the US, Spain, Sweden, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China, and South Korea. It was an incredible start to a culturally rich journey."
"Academically, I found my sociology class with Dr. Kemal Budak especially enriching. The discussions were diverse and insightful, with students from engineering, medical, and business backgrounds all showing great passion for the subject. In my Power Electronics course, I dove deep into specialized topics that expanded my understanding of my field."
"As the captain of the tennis team at KFUPM, I was excited to continue playing at Georgia Tech and meet talented players who helped me grow as an athlete. Programs like
#TECHsplore also gave me the opportunity to explore the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia."
"This experience helped me grow academically, culturally, socially, and athletically. It’s a unique chapter in my life, one that’s difficult to summarize in just a few words."
