"Yes it was very worthwhile. Not only is studying abroad something that employers are looking to see in students because it shows independence it is always going to turn out different than you expected and most of the time that will be a great thing.

But the immense knowledge and experience I gained from studying in Rome, isn't what I found the most impor..."

"This study abroad experience helped me see how different our culture is to others. I gained a lot of knowledge about horses. I went to Scotland with very little knowledge about horses.
