Past Review
By Lauren S (psychobiology, SUNY - Binghamton) for
The University of Queensland: Brisbane - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
IT was truly amazing! Going abroad was one of the best experiences of my life, and i would do it again in a heartbeat. Brisbane was beautiful and so different from new york. I took classes that counted for my major (neuroscience), so i did not fall behind with graduating.
