Why Do You Want to Study _____?
- I anticipate developing both personally and professionally from an international experience.
- I have a deep interest in the culture, history, and language of the country, which I am excited to continue to explore and experience.
- As someone who prides themselves on their ability to communicate across cultures, I believe I would be the perfect fit for a program that incorporates students from around the globe.

In our normal environment much of our behavior, like gestures, tone of voice, how we wait in lines (or don't wait), and interact, rely on collectively understood cultural cues. However, we don't actively pay attention to these -- they're our unspoken norm.
In a new country, we become more aware of these cultural subtleties because they are different from our norm.
Read through travel forums, guidebooks, news reports, or novels. Talk to people who have been there or -- better yet -- are from there.
