Past Review Life Changing! SUNY New Paltz: Dundee - Study Abroad at University of Dundee

"From my experience abroad, I have learned to be independent, and confident in my abilities to travel alone and have 'adult' responsibilities (cooking for myself without a meal plan, having to schedule how I spend my money). This program was definitely worthwhile because it has taught me how to be a responsible student. "
