Incredible Cultural Immersion Past Review
By A student (PSYCHOLOGY., Texas Lutheran University) - abroad from 06/06/2012 to 06/21/2012 with
Texas Lutheran University (TLU): Athens - Arts and Psychology in Greece
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I think the thing that I took away the most was the way that they live in Athens. It is so much more relaxed and fun than the way of life here. It was 100% worth it because I am now thinking about attending Graduate school abroad.
