Aidan Rhodes College
"I had never spent so much time out of the country in one place, so I had never been able to engage with another culture on that same level.

"Overall, I had mixed feelings about the semester. As parts of the overall experience ranged from amazing, insightful, and inspiring, to stifling, irrelevant, and narrow minded, it's safe to say it was a real roller-coaster ride. The Balkans are an incredible place full of every kind of person imaginable, awe-inspiring sights, an..."
