Amsterdam: A great place for an activist Past Review
By Anna W (American/United States Studies/Civilization., Wellesley College) for
IES Abroad: Amsterdam - Social Sciences & Humanities
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
YES! It helped me gain lots of experience as an activist, but this wasn't helped or supported by IES or Wellesley at ALL. I did that completely on my own.
