Gave me a new outlook on life and changed me for the better Past Review
By Susanna R (Undecided, Illinois State University) for
Canterbury Christ Church University: Canterbury - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Definitely worthwhile. I became more independent, learned to complain less, learned how to deal with what I was given, and how to adapt to different cultures.
