Traveler or Tourist, You Decide Past Review
By Steph P (Secondary History Teaching, University of Northern Iowa) for
University of Northern Iowa: Capstone in Greece
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I gained an understanding in another culture and was able to compare theirs' to mine here in the USA, for good and bad. I have a new profound outlook on the world and my everyday life, as time goes on, I believe it will only increase. I can't wait to go abroad again. It was a great opportunity and I absolutely loved it!

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
We were 'in-class/lecture time' a lot longer then we were originally told, but overall it was a great time abroad. Would have liked to have been told a realistic time frame per day for the day's activities. |
