"Yes it was extremely worthwhile, I would recommend people do a yearlong study abroad, of two programs and different places. Take advantage of study abroad while you are a student, because you won't be able to travel like this again. I plan on returning to Jordan after I graduate to perform research on Food Security and Water."

"It teaches you a lot about yourself, and about what you like in life and what you would like to do. It was an invaluable experience, but I would defeinitely reccommend going with a friend, and if you don't like to drink, and/or are involved in your faith community at home, don't expect to find that in Ireland.
