Life changing and eye opening. Past Review
By A student (Accounting and Related Services., John Carroll University) - abroad from 01/20/2014 to 05/03/2014 with
Regent’s University London: Direct Enrollment & Exchange
I learned that there is more to the world than just the little part that I have seen. Being in a different country forced me to grow up and figure things out on my own. Also seeing different cultures makes you appreciate them much more.
