University of Hertfordshire: Hatfield - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was a great experience. I learned many new ways to study throughout the time I was there. I gained many things that books cannot teach. I feel that I grew up and matured more than ever during this process. I am very lucky to have had such an amazing experience.
