Amazing Past Review
By Ashley F (Business Administration, Management and Operations., Brigham Young University) - abroad from 05/26/2012 to 06/17/2012 with
Brigham Young University: Traveling - Global Marketing Study Abroad
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Yes! I learned more about the people in every country and their cultures. It was the perfect trip to be able to create opinions on those countries. I also learned a lot about the companies we visited and this was a great thing to do while in college as a prepare for a future career with companies like these.
