Haifa: the most difficult experience I have ever faced, and has changed me forever Past Review
By Noosha A (international studies, University of Denver) for
University of Haifa: Study Abroad at Haifa International School
Yes. Any opportunity to study abroad is worth while. Haifa taught me so much about life, the world, myself, and things I never knew about. I will be forever thankful for the challenges and joys I had in Haifa.
