I want another
August 24, 2024by: Freddie HallProgram: Thailand College Pre-Vet MedicineBeing able to explore Thailand and its culture while pursuing my future career goals was truly life changing. I really appreciate the opportunity to learn from experienced veterinarians and classmates alongside me. I hope to experience another Loop Abroad program soon.
Branched out, glad I did
August 24, 2024by: Alfie CottonProgram: Thailand College Pre-Vet MedicineThis program really helped one understand my personal goals and aspirations. I was never sure what I wanted to do with my aspirations in animal health, so I thought I should branch out with something as extravagent as Loop Abroad. I will never have had the courage to touch or even work on an elephant if I never pushed myself. I am so glad I did because I learnt so much and met amazing people and mentors along the way.
