The best five months of my life so far. Past Review
By A student (Political Science and Government., Barnard College) - abroad from 10/01/2013 to 12/13/2013 with
King's College London: London - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was very worthwhile. I learned how much to appreciate the education I receive at my university at home and I also was exposed to so many different cultures and learned how to live independently in another country which will be of use for the rest of my life.
