Australia FUN but expensive. Past Review
By Marissa O (Special Education, Keene State College) for
Professional Pathways: Sydney - Intern in Australia
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was worthwhile but if I were to go abroad again I would travel. I would not spend so much money on a program. It was a great experience though!
