I just fell in love with Colorado. The mountains are amazing! Must go skiing and camping. While studying abroad dedicate enough time to study, but also interact with local people. It teaches you as much as school.

In order to study at USC I had to pass the TOEFL, and I did. When I got there I had trouble understanding certain people (because of their accent). After living there for one and a half years I had no trouble at all.
