My Summer in NYC changed my life! Past Review
By A student (Georgia Southern University) - abroad from 06/01/2012 to 08/11/2012 with
Study Away and Internship Programs in New York City
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Experiences International has given me insight into the inner workings of the real world. I have learned more here then I have in my two years of college. As well as experienced a cultural emersion like never before specifically in New York I have seen the Statue of Liberty a gift from France, China town, Brooklyn Bridge and more. Not only was it exciting but it they helped me develop my professional career, develop a stellar resume, and make lasting connections that I wont forget with people all over the world.
