That said, with there being numerous study abroad programs, how do you choose what’s best for you? You should enroll in one that provides a thrilling adventure that will not only transform your knowledge and expertise but also shape the future of your professional career. 

Let’s introduce you to North South Field Studies Safari (NSFSS), a best-in-class study abroad program that equips you with experiential learning opportunities in environmental science, sustainable development, and conservation. But why should you choose to study abroad with NSFSS? Read on to discover.  

Reasons Why You Should Study Abroad With NSFSS

You might be wondering why you should leave your country to study abroad at NSFSS. Well, besides the adventure and exploration, our field studies program equips you with the knowledge to grow professionally and solve sustainability and ecosystem-based challenges. Here’s a closer look at the perks of studying abroad in Kenya with NSFSS:

1. Studying Abroad Builds Meaningful and Lasting Friendships

Studying abroad isn’t just about acquiring academic knowledge; it also allows you to develop meaningful and lasting friendships. NSFSS admits students from all over the world. This means you’ll meet new people during your experiential learning adventure, make global friends, and form a foundation for more adventure, and experiences.

2. Explore Interconnected Climate Change Crises

In our rapidly changing world, global challenges connect us all, meaning what happens in one part of the world affects the rest. Therefore, staying in your home country with the notion that it won’t catch you is, in a manner of speaking, self sabotage. Traveling will open your eyes to global happenings. Eventually, the experience will help you cut the integrated challenges at the tip and prevent further cross-border spread. You’ll also learn what other people are doing to solve these problems and share experiences and intel from home for a unified solution. 

Now, Kenya is a perfect location for showcasing this concept and benefit of study abroad programs. For example, the ongoing Kenyan floods, while underpinned by human activities, climate change, poor infrastructure, sustainability-economic development conflicts, and deficient policies, it’s also a result of global happenings. As such, there’s a need to implement those changes back home, and also travel to see real-life examples for collaborative solutions. Research agrees by suggesting that such climate disasters are linked and one of the best solutions is global collaborations. And what better way than a study abroad program that takes you to the heart of it all.?

4. Networking

The network you build while studying abroad can be your gateway to global jobs and dreams realization–your connections can offer insights into job openings and even serve as references.  Studying abroad can also be your door to global interactions, research, and  global citizenship.

5. Travel and Adventure

Studying abroad also serves fun in equal measure. It allows you to see world wonders, marvel at the landscapes, and tick your bucket lists. You’ll get a chance to immerse yourself in the culture of indigenous communities and excite your taste buds with local cuisine. And if you are up for it, you can also take instagramable pictures and videos and share them with the world. 

And there’s no better chance than a study abroad program in a developing country. Our beach-to-bush adventure provides the perfect mix of struggles, wins, experimenting, and idea-sharing. And Kenya is at the center of it all; with world-renowned parks, 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites, and UNEP headquarters. To boot, it hosts several global summits on environment and climate action. As a result, the country offers a unique background to explore and grow both professionally and academically. 

Additionally, Kenya faces climate change impacts like droughts, floods, and declining biodiversity. These real-life happenings align with renowned sustainable development goals and international policies, such as the biodiversity framework and the Paris Accord on climate change. This background makes the beach-to-bush program a vital model for understanding how nations are preparing for the future of climate and sustainability. 

Lastly, our study abroad program also showcases key complementary SDGs, including 14 on life on water, 6 on poverty, and 13 on climate change, to support this unique background.
