Best experience of my life! Past Review
By A student (History and Social Sciences, Illinois State University) - abroad from 05/23/2012 to 06/13/2012 with
University of Limerick: Limerick - Summer School Programme
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was definitely worthwhile. I learned so much about the Irish culture. It was great to experience it first-hand. Interacting with the locals was very exciting. I was surprised as to how nice the locals were. I learned to be independent and now I know I can go abroad by myself again and I will be okay!
