Harlaxton is the baby step to studying abroad. Past Review
By Tasha P (Accounting and Related Services., Texas Lutheran University) - abroad from 08/28/2014 to 12/10/2014 with
University of Evansville: Grantham - Study abroad at Harlaxton College
I learned a lot about myself and how I can handle certain experiences better. Everything I gained is worth everything I spent. I would study abroad again but to a different program that would push me outside my comfort zone more.

* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?
(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
I was able to live easily on the amount of money I brought, however I should've done better budgeting in order to travel more with my money. |

| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Don't buy something you can get over here just because you're abroad. Always ask, "Would I pay this much for [whatever] in America?" |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
