Italy opened my eyes to the world around me and that there are bigger things out there Past Review
By Nicole P (Elementary Education, University of Northern Iowa) for
University of Northern Iowa: Traveling - UNI Cross-Cultural Capstone in Italy
I became more open minded about the world around us. I became more easy going and flexible. I loved the professor and the people I went with in the program they made the trip worthwhile
