From the Great Barrier Reef to the Mountains of New Zealand Past Review
By A student (Bentley University) - abroad from 09/02/2012 to 12/15/2012 with
Bond University: Gold Coast - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Yes it was worthwhile. I love to travel and I loved seeing Australia. However Australia was not the cultural haven that Europe is so less was learned about history and culture.
