Ireland/England: A beautiful experience Past Review
By Julia B (Social Work, University of Northern Iowa) for
University of Northern Iowa: Capstone in England and Ireland
I loved it! It was not a life changing experience because I've been abroad several times before this but I love going because there is just something about experiencing something completely different. I enjoy seeing the places where events I've been reading about in history books for years actually happened and meeting the people and trying a new way of life for a little.
