Incredible Experience Past Review
By Caitlin G (Communication, Champlain College) for
Champlain Abroad: Study in Dublin
It was a great cultural experience for a Communications major. It was a chance to discover a new culture with every region of the country you went too. Not to mention that it's easy access to the airport to jet off for the weekend of another country to expand your cultural emersion.
