Studying abroad was more than travel, it was learning how to exist between languages, cultures, and systems of power. Coming from a background shaped by migration, the experience felt deeply personal. Walking through new cities, I began to notice not only differences in culture, but in how societies are organized, who has access, and how opportunity is distributed. It made me reflect on policy beyond textbooks—how decisions made in offices translate into real lives, real barriers, and real possibilities. I saw how history, governance, and identity intersect in everyday spaces, from public institutions to conversations with people from different backgrounds. There were moments of uncertainty, of not fully belonging, but also moments of clarity where I understood that navigating these spaces is itself a form of political awareness. I didn’t just learn about the world, I learned how to read it, question it, and imagine how it could be better. This experience didn’t just expand my perspective it gave me a deeper sense of purpose. It reminded me why I chose to study political science, and why I want to be part of the conversations and decisions that shape our global future. https://www.instagram.com/huerta_mmx/

The Engineering Prague Program provided such a valuable experience that I opted to return. The academic curriculum was meticulously structured, highly engaging, and significantly enhanced by Prague's international and innovative atmosphere. The internship, in particular, was impactful, offering substantive responsibilities within a professional, fast paced environment and fostering meaningful cross cultural collaboration. My return enabled me to expand upon prior learning, deepen my skill set, and develop greater confidence and clarity in my career trajectory. The program consistently demonstrated excellent organization and support, rendering it both academically enriching and personally transformative. I highly recommend it to students seeking global exposure and substantial professional development.
