Want to really study abroad? Go to China Past Review
By A student (International Business and Finance, Creighton University) - abroad from 01/12/2015 to 05/08/2015 with
The Beijing Center: Semester and Full Year Abroad
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Everything from new american friends, to friends from all over the world you will meet people who will stick with you for a very long time! This experience will open your eyes and give you a new outlook on life in general that you will not be able to experience elsewhere. Plus, the Yunnan excursion was by far the BEST travel experience I have had ever in my life. You cannot really explain it, you have to go and live it.
