Studying at St. Clare's gave me the opportunity to experience the English culture and gain a new perspective of the world and the American way of life. Living in such a dynamic environment and interacting with a diverse group of professors and students opened my mind to new ways of thinking- both on an intellectual and personal level. It strengthened my ability to rely on myself and grow as an individual. Overall, my semester at St. Clare's as been an invaluable learning experience.
