Scotland, Ireland, Paris-could've been better. Past Review
By Anonymous U (Special Education, University of Wisconsin - Stout) for
University of Wisconsin - Stout: Traveling - Global Perspectives in Education
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Costs a lot, but worth it as you will never go back. Could've been better with more organization and professors who didn't leave us to "figure it out" all the time.
