I've learned and fell in love with a new culture. It was absolutely worthwhile! Morgan L - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It may seem “easy” to just pack your bags, board the plane and daydream about the memories you will be creating abroad, and though fulfilling those dreams is important in the experience overall, the challenges you will face make up just as important a part of it as well. As an introvert, I learned it ESSENTIAL to put my needs fi... Rachel Bornstein - University of Oklahoma View Entire Review
