Cusco Re-Entry: Back in the E.E.U.U. | ISA Study Abroad Student Blog

This is an interesting account from a student returning from a semester in Peru. How did studying abroad change your life?

samcnitt:

I’ve been back in the United States for about two weeks now, and I think I am starting to get used to things at home. Studying abroad definitely changed my perspective on both the world and the U.S.

Did study abroad change your life in little ways like using less electricity, walking more or eating differently? What about big ways, like influencing your career goals?
