Atlantis: Pre-med Fellowship Abroad
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I loved the AP because it forced me to go outside my comfort zone until I widened it. I learned that to truly experience the newness of being abroad, I had to dive in and submerge in a new place, and it was so worth it! There would have been a time that if you'd told me I would've been easily conversing with European doctors after only three weeks of Portuguese, or would've tried a type of fish redder than a tomato, or would've successfully climbed three volcanoes in a day on an excursion, I would've thought you were talking about someone else. The Atlantis Project is ideal for most anyone with the desire to expand their horizons in ALL directions: culturally, medically, linguistically, intellectually, and interpersonally.

A Look Back
* What did you like most about the program? |

* What could be improved? |

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I wish I'd been able to connect with other people on my program before leaving (in ways other than facebook stalking, haha). I also wish I'd known a bit more about cooking for myself - I loved Azorean cuisine but it's so much cheaper to cook at the apartment rather than eat out all the time. |
