Extraordinary, once in a lifetime. Past Review
By crystal.perreira.16 (VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS., Bethel University) - abroad from 01/23/2012 to 05/10/2012 with
Study Away and Internship Programs in New York City
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
So much I cant put into words. I learned things about life and people. I learned about art and being a professional independent human being. I learned responsibility and safety. I learned about friendship, and about different races and backgrounds and passions. I learned about famous artists and how the professional art world works, operates, and depends on itself.
