Study Abroad in New Zealand was incredible - the best time of my life! Past Review

By Emily A (Communication, Bryant University) for

Arcadia: Dunedin - University of Otago

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

Absolutely worthwhile. I would love to go to New Zealand again someday, but I don't know if I will be able to - that's why I am so glad that I got to experience it for so long, in such an culturally-intensive atmosphere!
