Past Review

By (Economics/Business Administration, Trinity University) for

Universidad San Francisco de Quito: USFQ Cumbaya Program

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The most significant aspect of my study abroad experience was the knowledge acquired in the summer course. The interaction with local people, foreign language, cultural shock was not influential since I did took the course at the country where I was born and raised: Ecuador.
