What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I would highly recommend ESAC study abroad opportunity for anyone seeking to learn and have an experience of a lifetime. Not only did I get to see different countries while gaining new experiences I made lifelong friendships from being apart of the ESAC study abroad group. I learned, fell in love with countries, and would definitely do it again.
