Abroad101: Study Abroad Reviews

Best time of my life! Past Review

By (CFA, Bentley University) - abroad from 08/06/2012 to 12/07/2012 with

Nanyang Technological University: Singapore - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I needed to be in an entirely different culture to learn the secret- that despite differences in ancestry, language, history, and religion, human beings are pretty much the same wherever they might be. This trip was the best experience of my life and I highly recommend it to future study abroad applicants!
