Australia:Life-changing experience in the Land Down Under Past Review

By (Journalism., Indiana University of Pennsylvania) for

ISA Study Abroad in Gold Coast, Australia

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It introduced me to many cultures from around the world and encouraged me to travel more of the world. Australia is a beautiful country with and breathtaking landscapes and scenery. Aside from the social and travel aspect of studying abroad, the classes were small and grading was difficult. However, I learned alot from the enthusiastic professors.
