Georgia - 2022

"I very much enjoyed studying with a group of international students. It was very interesting to gain a different perspective when it came to subjects inline with my degree (Town Planning). I was able to form a professional network of people, which I continue to stay in touch with. This now allows me to have a reference point if and when I want to gain an international working experience upon graduation or further down my career path."
