Entry 56: Big Apple

Our university is "In and of the City" and "In and of the World." What does the concept of a global network university mean to you? How do you think studying in New York City, Abu Dhabi, or one of our global sites would change you as a person and equip you to build cross-cultural relationships at our university and beyond?

• A global network university is a very appealing concept to me. Why? Because it means that I will have many advantages compared to people who do not attend a global network university. I will be able to experience many new cultures around me. I would have to adapt to a new environment first, since I would be studying abroad from my country. Then, I will be able to interact with a variety of different types of people from different cultures all over the world. What a global network provides is diversity. I will be able to meet new people, and I will learn how to cooperate with them in order to complete a superordinate goal, despite our ethnic, or any other, differences. The other advantage of being in a global network university is that I will be able to work with other universities around the world/globe because many of them would be connected to the global network university. Finally, the best advantage in my opinion would be that I would be able to acquire and attain the newest information and ideas from all over the globe, because a global network center means very, very advanced technology. I believe that in present day, one of the most important things to success would be information and technology, all of which a global network university would provide me.
