Study Aboard New Zealand Best Experience of My Life Past Review
By Kaitlin P (Biology, Saint Norbert College) for
University of Canterbury: Christchurch - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I loved my experience! It was the best decision I have ever made thus far in my life. I have so many friends from all over the world that I could network almost anywhere. I learned who I was down there and became more confident in myself and what I do and believe. It was great to see all the different cultures living together in a closer community.
