I learned so much while living abroad. It was such a great learning experience for not only my field of study, but I was also able to learn so much about myself as well.

I felt highly prepared before going abroad. The study abroad advisor was so helpful, from helping me pick my program to if I had any silly questions, she was always there for it all.
