Once in a lifetime experience Past Review
By Lea H (Tel Aviv University) - abroad from 07/17/2013 to 07/09/2013 with
Tel Aviv University: Undergraduate Semester / Year in Israel
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Studying at TAU International was a memorable experience. Meeting new people from all over the world in such a beautiful environment made me feel like home. I never felt alone even though the majority of the students were from North America and I am from Europe. We had a lot of social activities and trips. The structures of our classes were in dialogues between students and teachers some them ended in passionate debates that lasted till after classes. I am still in contact with my classmates they even came to visit me in Vienna.
