Tell The Next Third Culture Kid. What Was It Actually Like?

You grew up between countries. Then you had to pick a university from rankings written for people who’d never left home, and nobody could tell you what it would actually feel like. You found out alone.

A Third Culture Kid is doing that right now. Weighing a country they legally belong to and have only seen over summer and winter breaks — or another one entirely. Same questions you had, same silence where an answer should be.

We’re 0.2% of humanity. What you know about that university, almost nobody else alive can tell them. Two minutes. Published anonymously.
