By studying in another country, you can grow so much as a person. I have learned how to be more responsible, how to manage my time correctly, how to stay on a budget, how to plan a trip right, and how to be more organized with so many things on my plate at once. Gabrielle Oliveira - University of Texas - San Antonio View Entire Review
There's so much to learn about yourself as well as the world when studying abroad. You learn how to challenge yourself in many ways and grow as a person. Living in another country allows you to learn about another culture and traveling broadens your worldview. Studying abroad is absolutely worth it! Juliana - Cedar Crest College View Entire Review
