If you had to create a playlist that represents your study abroad experience, what songs would be on it?

A study abroad playlist should capture the emotional journey, cultural immersion, and personal growth experienced during the trip. Start with upbeat tracks like ‘I Gotta Feeling’ by Black Eyed Peas to reflect excitement and new beginnings. Include local artists or traditional music from the host country to celebrate cultural discovery, such as ‘Despacito’ for Latin America or ‘Waka Waka’ for Africa.

Add introspective songs like ‘Home’ by Phillip Phillips or ‘The Climb’ by Miley Cyrus to represent challenges and homesickness. End with empowering anthems like ‘Roar’ by Katy Perry or ‘Brave’ by Sara Bareilles, symbolizing transformation and confidence gained.
