University of Westminster: London - Study Abroad Semester or Year with an Optional Internship

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
My experience abroad was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I learned so much about different cultures and the people in them. My horizons were greatly expanded upon by being in the classroom with a different structure than at my home university and having people from all over the world in my modules.
