Why did you choose this study abroad program? I chose the India Summer program for its unique opportunity to experience Indian culture through the lens of history, politics, cinema, and philosophy. As a student in Mendoza, I'm eager to immerse myself in India's dynamic banking sector, experiencing first hand its role as a global business powerhouse. Notre Dame has been instrumental in broadening my worldview through study abroad opportunities, and I am confident that this experience will further enrich my growth. Additionally, since I haven't had the chance to travel to Asia yet, this program provides the perfect opportunity not only to gain insights into Indian culture and business but also to check another continent off my bucket list!
