By Larissa T (College of Saint Scholastica) - abroad from 10/14/2012 to 10/21/2012 with

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Very worthwhile. Many of the things in the travel books were inaccurate. You can't gain knowledge of international business without experiencing it.
