The Dutch: Much More Than Windmills Past Review

By Erica K (Journalism., Emerson College) for

Emerson College: Kasteel Well: The Netherlands

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

Yes it was definitely worthwhile, I gained a lot of knowledge I hadn't previously known about the Netherlands and the Dutch culture. The country is small which makes for great exploration. I feel like it has changed me for the better, I'm a more independent person and has sparked some creativity for me.
