By Miriam M (Anthropology, Psychology, The College of William and Mary) for
University of Adelaide: Adelaide - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It has been a good social experience, but the school living arrangements are obscenely over-priced.
