I had a life changing experience that I will never forget in London! Past Review
By Abigail Palmer (Winona State University) - abroad from 01/21/2019 to 05/24/2019 with
UW-Platteville Education Abroad at St Mary's University (SMU)
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I was able to get a better view on other cultures and what they thought about the American culture. There is so much that I don't know about this world and this experience makes me want to be more informed and enlightened on the happenings in the past and present.

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
