University of Northern Iowa: Capstone in Greece

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I gained an understanding in another culture and was able to compare theirs' to mine here in the USA, for good and bad. I have a new profound outlook on the world and my everyday life, as time goes on, I believe it will only increase. I can't wait to go abroad again. It was a great opportunity and I absolutely loved it!
