"Studying abroad has become one of the most amazing experiences of my life. In the beginning it was tough, but once I found my feet, everything fell in to place and I enjoyed the best consecutive six months of my life. I have made amazing friends from all walks of life and found my passion for medieval history and found many skills I possess that I had never known about. I grew up as an individual and came to realise how capable I was to fulfil many tasks and face situations." Abby Donkin, Bachelor of Arts, 2013
