Past Review
By chloe w (Public Administration., SUNY - Binghamton) for
SUNY Binghamton: New Delhi - Technology, Economy, and Society in India
My experience was very worthwhile and even indescribable in some aspects. I just enjoyed most of all learning about another culture, and most importantly being granted the opportunity to experience something outside of what I know and am used to.
