"No matter where you go abroad, you will learn countless skills--from living without wifi to navigating the crazy streets in a place where you do not speak the language and you lost your map.

Past Review Semester In Galway Arcadia: Galway - National University of Ireland, Galway

"While I believe I did gain a lot of independence skills, I am not sure I couldn't have learned them while living in a similar housing situation at my home university.
