I Fell In Love! Past Review
By A student (Wellesley College) - abroad from 01/10/2018 to 05/25/2018 with
University of Edinburgh: Edinburgh - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Aside from an interesting art class that I would never have taken at Wellesley, I grew in my spirituality and also fell in love, so that's potentially changed the whole trajectory of my life. Totally worthwhile.
