Italy/Greece: An Experience of a Lifetime Past Review
By Lindsey L (Community Psychology, St. Cloud State University) for
St. Cloud State University: Italy & Greece - PSY 330 – Cross Cultural Psychology
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Very, very worthwhile. Probably the highlight of my life thus far. I feel like I have a greater appreciation for other cultures, especially the rich history that Italy and Greece both have.
