It was definitely a life changing experience and I really enjoyed it. Past Review

University of Sussex: Brighton - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
yes, I really loved my experience abroad. I feel like I learned so much and I got what I wanted from this trip. However, I feel like my academic adviser did not prepare me too well. Academic advisers should be more prepared to assist students in choosing which classes to take.
