<p>My most recent Penn-grad cousin was an IR major, spent his junior year in France, got a scholarship to Oxford following graduation, and did research for his MPhil thesis in Japan and France. So he was very internationally focused. One of the things he really liked most about Penn was making friends with people from all over the world. When the tsunami hit a few years ago, he had several close friends who were directly affected, because they lived where it hit.</p>
