Summer Intersession in Croatia: I had lots and lots of fun! Past Review
By STEPHEN P (Criminal Justice and Corrections., St. Cloud State University) for
St. Cloud State University: Dubrovnik - Criminal Justice and Victimology
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The coursework was very educational and informative and has helped with the courses I am in currently. However, the greatest part of the whole experience was meeting and spending time with people from all around the world.

| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | I spent an average of $200/week. Find a shop where you can buy groceries early on. |

That was not the case and I spent approximately $300 on food over the course of the trip |
