Best Experience of my Life Past Review
By Morgan Woodward (University of Evansville) - abroad from 01/04/2017 to 04/30/2017 with
University of Evansville: Grantham - Study abroad at Harlaxton College
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Harlaxton offers a class structure and scheduling that allows students to become more immersed in British culture while being free to travel throughout Europe. Harlaxton provides many opportunities to meet members of the local community, grow closer to other Harlaxton students, and experience personal growth. Harlaxton has allowed me to create and maintain friendships with people all over the globe, grow as an individual, and gain a deeper understanding of my place in the world. The four months I spent in Grantham will be something I will never forget.
