A Journey Beyond Borders: My Experience As A Foreign Exchange Student

A Journey Beyond Borders: My Experience As A Foreign Exchange Student

Two years ago, in June 2023, I received one of the most exhilarating emails of my life— “Congratulations! You have been selected for the 2-year full-time MBA program at the Indian Institute of Management, Nagpur.” In that moment, excitement coursed through me as I envisioned the journey ahead, eager to embrace new challenges and opportunities. Little did I know, this was merely the tip of the iceberg. What awaited me was far more than an academic pursuit—it was an experience that would shape me in ways I had never imagined. As the course unfolded, I was introduced to the student exchange program with Université de Lille by a  senior, sparking a curiosity that soon transformed into determination. After thoughtful discussions and careful consideration, I seized the opportunity, ready to embark on an adventure that would redefine my understanding of education, culture, and travel—an experience that would remain etched in my memory forever.

A sultry air is beating at me as I leave the air-conditioned halls of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad and follow our driver to the parking lot. Although it is four o'clock in the morning, there is a lot of hustle and bustle - honking auto-rickshaws, stray dogs and various traders block the road. I wipe the sweat off my forehead and inhale this new fragrance. It smells of petrol, fried food and incense sticks. Still somewhat sleep-drunk I notice all this and let it work on me.

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free,” I remembered this quote of Michelangelo while strolling through the streets of Florence.
