A Time Down Under to Remember! Past Review
By Miranda M (psychology and social work interest, University of Iowa) - abroad from 08/22/2014 to 12/14/2014 with
The Education Abroad Network (TEAN): Gold Coast - Bond University
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The Education Abroad Network was a great choice for studying abroad! Whether the most important thing to you is finances, one-on-one advising, emotional support, or additional excursions and activities, TEAN can help your study abroad experience to be one to remember. I learned a lot about myself and about the world. In general, I learned that life is short, and when you die, the extra five pounds will not be the thing you remember but the positive experiences and lessons you learned will. It was very worthwhile.
