Abbie Dean, who spent a Year Abroad at the University of Georgia, USA, said:
“My year at the University of Georgia was by far the best year of my life. I went out of my comfort zone, experienced a new culture, and learnt so much—about myself and life in America. My advice to anyone else thinking about studying abroad is: just do it! It is so rewarding, and you never know where it’ll take you.”
