"In 2025, I had the privilege to study abroad at UWG, fulfilling a lifelong wish of mine to spend a semester in the US. I enjoyed my classes and their content immensely, and was positively surprised by the small class size and the encouragement and feedback I received from professors and students. I especially appreciated my English classes, as they not only helped me improve my academic writing and confidence in my English abilities but also gave me valuable insight into English/American culture and perspectives."
