<p>This fall, I will fly halfway across the globe to attend college in Abu Dhabi as a member of the third graduating class of '*NYU-Abu Dhabi. This is a choice which neither my friends nor family could have predicted, and not just because the college was only opened two years ago. Yet, here I am: choosing the road less travelled which not even I could have envisioned myself on a year ago. I'll be turning down offers from some of the most well-know and well-established universities in the world, and not for financial reasons. Rather, I am choosing to seize the reigns of my own education and embark on an adventure across the globe.</p>
