Final Reflection Questions
What were the most significant take-aways from your experience?

I think that it was amazing to be put into an environment that expected so much of you. My writing definitely improved as a result of the essays that we had to construct every week. But the most important take away was the time that I got to spend getting to know an incredible group of UGA students.

What were the most significant take-aways from your experience?
|
The academic experience was absolutely incredible and the ability to travel around Europe for 10 weeks was one of the most valuable pieces of the program to me. I wonder if our experience would have been different without Covid-19, but otherwise it was wonderful. The people I met and learned from, the friends I made, and the ability to live in the UK for as long as I did was a life-changing experience that I would not trade for anything.
