With their&nbsp;destination set for the city of Holguin on the eastern end of the&nbsp;Caribbean&nbsp;island, programming&nbsp;included classes at the University of Holguin, visits to hospitals and smaller clinics, and daily&nbsp;excursions to local&nbsp;markets and cultural destinations&nbsp;such as the city\u2019s&nbsp;two local museums. Students&nbsp;also&nbsp;stayed in Cuba's long-established private homestays called&nbsp;<em>casa&nbsp;particulares<\/em>&nbsp;where locals rent rooms to tourists&nbsp;(similar to&nbsp;today\u2019s&nbsp;Airbnb&nbsp;model).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For recent health policy management graduate Bogdan&nbsp;Hududui, the&nbsp;<em>casa&nbsp;particulares<\/em>&nbsp;were a highlight of the trip. He stayed with a couple and their&nbsp;children, and&nbsp;ate most breakfasts with them as well as a couple of dinners. Originally from Romania,&nbsp;Hududui&nbsp;says he found the&nbsp;community-oriented&nbsp;lifestyle refreshingly&nbsp;similar to&nbsp;what he&nbsp;knew in&nbsp;Europe. \u201cIn Canada,&nbsp;everyone's&nbsp;very&nbsp;individualistic. You&nbsp;don't&nbsp;really know your neighbors.&nbsp;I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;know anybody on my street. But in Cuba, I&nbsp;knew&nbsp;basically everyone, because people would be out and talking on the street,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asya Said, a second-year Global Health major, also enjoyed hanging out with her host family, recalling that they managed to communicate well enough between their limited language skills and&nbsp;hand&nbsp;gestures.&nbsp;\u201cWe would talk to them, tell them about our day. Sometimes we&nbsp;would&nbsp;dance with them. We&nbsp;would&nbsp;play cards. There was a lot of interaction with our host&nbsp;family. They loved talking to us, and we loved talking to them. They all had different stories to share,\u201d she recalls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both students said that they also learned a lot about&nbsp;the differences between the health care systems.&nbsp;Hududui&nbsp;says&nbsp;the focus on preventative medicine&nbsp;hit&nbsp;him first.&nbsp;\u201cCanada's&nbsp;health&nbsp;system is very much focused on taking care of you after you already have an illness or a disease.&nbsp;So&nbsp;if you have like diabetes,&nbsp;it's&nbsp;treating everything after that. But in Cuba,&nbsp;they focus on prevention.&nbsp;Because&nbsp;Cuba&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;a very wealthy country, so they prefer you not to need insulin. They tried their best to&nbsp;give you actual prescriptions for&nbsp;diets,&nbsp;and&nbsp;exercise,\u201d he says,&nbsp;adding that he also&nbsp;found&nbsp;greater acceptance of alternative medicines.&nbsp;Said&nbsp;observed&nbsp;that the&nbsp;communal&nbsp;vibe she&nbsp;felt&nbsp;with her&nbsp;host&nbsp;family extended&nbsp;into the&nbsp;health&nbsp;system. \"The health system seems to target communities, listening to what the people needed,\" she says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While both students enjoyed the warmth they found in Cuban culture&nbsp;(and climate!), certain elements&nbsp;and realities on the ground&nbsp;took some getting used to. The rolling blackouts that are typical in Cuba were&nbsp;jarring, says&nbsp;Hududui, even when they were on a schedule such as a&nbsp;regular&nbsp;planned six-hour outage. Many places had emergency&nbsp;generators&nbsp;but they were not used that often. Weak sewage systems where the protocol was not to flush toilet paper was also a difference, and the&nbsp;WiFi&nbsp;strength could be unpredictable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said, who does not eat pork, says she was concerned before leaving about&nbsp;meeting her dietary requirements. She did research and was reassured to find eggs and&nbsp;fish and&nbsp;chicken as regular staples. She&nbsp;adds that&nbsp;her initial research&nbsp;did not match the reality she found, in&nbsp;a good way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I look at the media, they always portray Cuba as&nbsp;very low&nbsp;income, very scary.&nbsp;There was just a lot of&nbsp;misinformation. I was expecting a lot of&nbsp;bad things.&nbsp;But when I got there, it was the exact opposite.&nbsp;Everyone's&nbsp;so friendly, welcoming. You get to explore and see the communities and how they work with each other,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to&nbsp;deal with cultural adjustments, students were advised&nbsp;beforehand&nbsp;to journal and chat with peers about their experiences.&nbsp;Hududui&nbsp;says that&nbsp;after the&nbsp;initial&nbsp;whirlwind of settling in, it&nbsp;actually&nbsp;hit&nbsp;him on the second day that he would be spending a further 12 days.&nbsp;&nbsp;At that point&nbsp;he was glad that he had&nbsp;brought&nbsp;familiar elements to remind him of home. \"If you like music or podcasts, download a bunch before you head out to Cuba, and listen to what will make you feel comfortable,\" he advises. He also&nbsp;found that making friends on his trip, both local students and in his cohort, helped him to&nbsp;find&nbsp;plans for downtime like weekends&nbsp;to explore&nbsp;the area's beaches,&nbsp;concerts&nbsp;and clubs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said says she would&nbsp;definitely recommend&nbsp;the study abroad opportunity to others, has already told friends about it, and is even considering going again herself. \"You learn a lot even though it is in a short span, from students and professors, especially if you\u2019re into travelling and new environments.\"&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hududui&nbsp;says the experience helped him better prepare for his career in healthcare&nbsp;to see a different system in action.&nbsp;\u201cIt&nbsp;was worthwhile for me because it gave me&nbsp;a different perspective&nbsp;on how&nbsp;a healthcare system can be improved.\"&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Students who are interested in applying for a
