European Experience That Changed My Life Past Review

By (Social Work, 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?
Yes. Although it was very expensive and I spent a lot of money over there, it was worth it. I learned about how other people live and in the process, learned more about myself. Having this information will help me out in my career because my major is psychology and I plan on counseling people. This will help because I'll be able to better understand how people work.
