England's culture is more different from the US than I thought! Past Review

By (Political Science, Asbury College) for

CISabroad (Center for International Studies): London - Semester at the University of Westminster

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Yes, it's always eye-opening and forces you to grow when you go somewhere new. I gained huge exposure to cultural differences and was challenged in many ways, but that is all part of personal growth.
