CU Senior Kaitlyn Greaney Shares Her Experiences in Khon Kaen, Thailand!
As part of our commitment to the development of Southeast Asian Studies, the Center for Asian Studies, in collaboration with the CU Boulder Education Abroad Office, runs a Southeast Asia Study Abroad​ Scholarship Program to help CU students explore Southeast Asia and develop valuable knowledge about this oft under-studied region of the world. Recently, Kaitlyn Greaney, a senior at CU Boulder and one of our scholarship recipients, kindly shared some of her experiences studying in Khon Kaen, Thailand.
My name is Kaitlyn Greaney, and I am a senior studying Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. For the past 4 months, I have been living in Khon Kaen, Thailand studying Community Public Health with CIEE. It truly has been the best 4 months of my life. Every other week, my classmates and I visit local communities to study their ways of life, and learn about the obstacles they face everyday. I have been able to foster relationships with people I never thought possible. During my time in Khon Kaen, I have also become proficient in the Thai language. Thailand is quite a different experience then going abroad to a western country, but obviously was the best decision of my life!
