If you’ve had the incredible opportunity to study abroad, you may relate to that feeling of fulfillment that comes with it; a sense that you’ve found a new place to call “home". For Dr. Maggie Parke, abroad ‘home' was the small city of Bangor, in Wales, UK. Her overseas experience was so powerful that she made sure return right after grad school- this time for good.  Now an International Education Officer at Bangor University, Maggie shares what to expect when you take on the expat life, how students can maximize their own experiences abroad, and of course what makes Wales so magical (aside from all the castles and dragons).
