What I like about my Ukrainian Fulbrighters is that none of them tries to stay in the US after finishing their term. I like patriotism in people. And on a purely self-serving side, it’s a relief not to be pestered with endless questions about the immigration system and how to game it that Fulbrighters from other countries keep asking.
The Ukrainian Fulbrighters like America and are grateful for the experience but they are very clear on not wanting to live here. “I love my own country and I can’t wait to go home,” they invariably say. I like that.
