What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I fell love with London and Europe in general. I will most likely move back after I graduate.

The Nearly Native or Trail BlazerCraving the most authentic experience possible, perhaps you lived with a host family or really got in good with the locals. You may have felt confined by your program requirements and group excursions. Instead, you'd have preferred to plan your own trips, even skipping class to conduct your own 'field work.' |
