“
Going abroad requires effort and organization, but
my life is richer for taking that adventure. What I enjoyed
most about University Semester Abroad was experiencing
the typical American student life. At the beginning I didn’t
think I could keep up with American students. But at the
end, that was the best part of the experience. Adjusting to
another lifestyle taught me a lot, and I’m grateful.
