Tartu: Challenging Yet Rewarding Past Review
By Michaela B (PSYCHOLOGY., Nebraska Wesleyan University) for
University of Tartu: Tartu - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I would like to travel more in the future and I appreciate America more as well. MY academic interests are still the same. I discovered that it doesn't matter where I live as long as I am near family.
