University of Nicosia - Global Semesters: Nicosia - Semester in Cyprus

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Spending a semester in Cyprus was a wonderful experience. Living in a country and more specifically a city with such a strong cultural and historical background was an experience like no other. Professors at the University were very accommodating and the academic and social experience will definitely be an asset for my personal and professional goals.
