Happy to be back at Wellesley Past Review
By A student (Wellesley College) - abroad from 09/10/2018 to 12/24/2018 with
Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich(ETH): Zürich - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I have witnessed quite a bit of personal growth and find that I am thriving back at Wellesley due to my motivation to not relive last semester. I think the most important qualities that I cultivated were confidence during confrontation and self-advocacy.

A Look Back
* What did you like most about the program? |
|
* What could be improved? |
|
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I wish that I had more thoroughly investigated the program before I applied. Given ETH's ranking within the chemistry community, I figured that the quality of education would be quite high, however, it was just not a good fit for me. |
