Alright, but did not live up to my abroad experience Past Review
By Ann W (Math, The University of Texas at Austin) - abroad from 10/08/2012 to 01/25/2013 with

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Being an international student was a bit tough, it took extra effort to "fit in". Traveling was a great fun and so convenient.
