A Year in the Fulbright Life: Mohamad Ali’s Story

For the next year, Fulbright MENA will be showcasing a handful of students as they study in the United States with their new series, A Year in the Fulbright Life. Each month, spotlighted students will share an update as they continue on their Fulbright journey.

August 2021:

The time has finally arrived for me to say goodbye to my mother and brother before departing for the United States. With Lebanon going through very difficult times, it was very hard saying goodbye to my friends and family back home, but witnessing all their excitement and receiving their support definitely made the transition easier for me. Finally, after two days of flying, I safely made it to Rochester, New York, where I will start my Fulbright adventure!

Mohamad Ali is a first-year Fulbright student from Lebanon. He is studying Data Science at the University of Rochester.
