A Window To the World in Oviedo Past Review
By Gabriella M (Spanish/Sociology, University of Oregon) for
GEO: Oviedo - Study Abroad Programs in Oviedo
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The ability and confidence to function independently in a foreign place, a richer cultural and academic knowledge that cannot be experienced through just travels alone, and the world can be a very beautiful place.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Do as much as you can you quell and quiet all typical judgements you have reserved through your own culture and experiences so far and be open to the flood of worlds you have never known of. Travel as much as you can and meet and talk to AS MANY LOCALS AS POSSIBLE. As long as your mind is open, it does't matter so much if you're positive or not jut so long as you take in the experience. |
