King's College London: London - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was worth it and I learned a lot but I wish I had done a program, rather than direct enrolment in a university, where there was much less of a support system and the housing situation was not ideal
