Great experience--so many opportunities!

I absolutely loved my study abroad experience through IFSA. My home university isn't always the best with communication, but luckily IFSA is awesome with it! They always answered my every question (and let me tell you, I had tons!) and never took too long to respond. The actual location of the experience was amazing as well. Cardiff is a beautiful city that is so close to many amazing places in Wales and Great Britain. We were able to easily travel around to anywhere we wanted to go. Cardiff University was very helpful with study abroad students, and they had so many options for classes! I took my required classes, as well as classes I was just plain interested in (Witches, Magic and the Occult)! It will always be difficult to communicate with people back home due to the time difference, but IFSA has people in place that are near to you that are always available to help! Andrew was amazing and took us out to lunch and was always available for a chat. Everyone I met was awesome and I made some lifelong friends and memories that I will always cherish!
