    After each of my study abroad trips concluded, I realized what I learned had far exceeded my expectations. The trips expanded my understanding of different cultures and of myself. This type of learning is continuous and to this day allows me to connect with new ideas and people.

    Yes, my expectations were definitely met. I feel that I was completely in charge of my expectations and my experience. I took the initiative to make the experience worthwhile and amazing while others may have been too lazy. I traveled as much as possible, our program was well structured, and I made a bunch of new friends. It was a great learning experience and way more fun than I had expected.
