19. Have you ever been on a study abroad trip?
How to Answer
Talk about your study abroad trip in college. If you didn't have that experience, talk about your gap year, volunteer trip to Asia, or any other significant travel experience or experience you had living overseas, and how you grew from it.
"I didn't study abroad as a college student, but I've since traveled extensively across Asia to Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal, Macau, and Taiwan. I visited many temples and universities there because I wanted to see how education was different based on the religious backgrounds of each country. I ended up staying in Taiwan for a year teaching English and it was eye-opening to see how different students there were compared to American students."
