Past Review
By Macy C (Economics & Sociology, The College of William and Mary) for
William and Mary: Seville - William and Mary in Seville
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Definitely worthwhile! You learn so much while abroad, and most of it isn't in a classroom. I made some great friends, learned how to pack everything for a week in a small backpack, tried lots of new foods, and learned about many new cultures and people.
