England/Scotland: Better than I could dream of! Past Review
By Jamie J (Social Science Teaching Plan A, University of Northern Iowa) for
University of Northern Iowa: Traveling - UNI Capstone in England and Scotland
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Yes, I just wish I went somewhere that was more different than the U.S. but I had a great time! It was a good place to go for the first time out of the country. I met amazing people, my professor and leader knew so much and were fun! I loved everything we did.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | The UK is surprisingly a lot like the U.S. I advise going to a country that is more different than you're used to. Also, try to travel on your own a week before or after to go to more countries! |
