Study Abroad at UEA Norwich Past Review

By (English/Spanish, Trinity University) for

University of East Anglia: Norwich - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Absolutely. If not for the confidence in travel and joy in history and tourism (and the novelty of having an accent that everyone adored), my friendships made my time incredibly more worthwhile and enriching than I ever expected and will have a longer impact on me than I could ever have anticipated.
