Adventure of a lifetime Past Review
By Amanda H (Communication, SUNY - Albany) - abroad from 08/27/2012 to 11/30/2012 with
CEA CAPA Education Abroad: Sydney, Australia
I learnt a lot about myself and what my comfort zones are. Living in the city my whole life and then heading to Australia didn't feel like a big difference to me it was a nicer and greater version of America. And with CAPA i have made so many friends from around the U.S. that i still keep in touch with a visit
