Title: Zohaib Tahir (SFS-Q’18)

Zohaib Tahir smiles for the camera while sitting on steps.

 

“Im a junior at the School of Foreign Service majoring in International Economics (Class of 2018). Originally from Pakistan, I joined Georgetown University in Qatar in 2014 and decided to spend the spring of 2017 in D.C. Despite having the opportunity to go do so at various other institutions around the world, I chose Georgetown in D.C. to get a holistic experience of both settings, the campus life in Doha and at the Hilltop. Getting used to these transitions in such a short time was not the easiest task I had to deal with but in retrospect, keeping in mind how much I have developed as a result, I would not have chosen to do it in any other way.”
