What was your favorite class and why?
|
My favorite class was Art History because we studied in Cezanne and Van Gogh. These two painters worked in the South of France. Because of this we took two excursions (one for Cezanne and one for Van Gogh) allowing us to see the exact motifs that were painted by each painter. It was an amazing experience!

What did you gain from studying abroad?
|
I gained many things; however, the most important one would have to be my independence. I am much more independent now and feel confident living on my own!
