Love the city, the program had some kinks to work out. Past Review
By Allyson C (University of Minnesota - Twin Cities) - abroad from 01/19/2012 to 04/20/2012 with
CEA CAPA Education Abroad: London, England
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I've learned about living in a global city, self-travel and getting along on my own. It was worthwhile, but not because of the program.
