My time in South Africa was the most impactful experience I’ve ever had in my life. Not only did the study abroad trip increase my awareness of South Africa on a business level, the trip also allowed me to learn and digest the social and governmental climate that citizens are currently living in. Landing in South Africa, I hadn’t fully realized just how fresh the effects of Apartheid were, as well as the racial and socio-economic divides that were still in place across the country.
