"I learned a lot about myself while studying in Spain. It was not a country that I had always wanted to go to desperately but it has since become a home to me in many ways.

However, I learned more about the history and how it impacts the ..."

"The only reason why I wouldn't choose the same programme is because they were very pricey, and I found out from other international students how to live in France and attend the same school/go on the same cultural excursions and travel abroad for half of the price. However, it was a good experience."
Simone S University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
"I will be back to Ghana."
