Ireland and England: An Unforgettable Experience! Past Review
By Courtney H (Elementary Education, University of Northern Iowa) for
University of Northern Iowa: Capstone in England and Ireland
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
My experience was very worthwhile. I learned a lot about the history of Ireland and its people, got to interact with the locals, and try some of their traditional, tastey foods and drinks. I am also glad that this program included a few days in the famous city of London. After the calm and relaxed atmosphere in Ireland, the busy and noisy city of London was a big change! Personally, I found the city just as enjoyable as Ireland and learned just as much, if not more. I would go back to either place in a heartbeat!
