On Top of the World Down Under Past Review
By Liesa A (Speech-Language Pathology, Texas Christian University) for
Texas Christian University (TCU): Traveling - Speech Pathology in Australia
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was absolutely worthwhile. This world is increasingly global and interconnected with the relatively new onset of great technology. I love traveling so this experience was wonderful. It was easy to adapt since their culture is very similar to ours in many ways and I would love to come back.
