Internationally Inclined
posted on
When students return from overseas, it’s quite common to hear them use the phrase, “study abroad changed my life.” While I loved the five months I spent in the heart of Sydney, Australia, I would be more likely to say that study abroad shaped my life. Studying overseas not only provided me with international friendships and personal…
