Argentina an older familiar home. Past Review
By Nicole L (Language and Culture, SUNY Purchase) for
SUNY New Paltz: Buenos Aires - Study Abroad at Pontificia Universidad Católica
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learned how to rely on myself and open up my world to others and learn and respect their cultures. I was able to practice my spanish on an everyday basis and I realized more clearly what I might be interested in persuing in the future.
