Yes, it was worthwile. I learned the value of seeing a different culture and throwing myself into experiences that I wouldn't think possible before. Zachary N - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I gained a better understanding of life in Jordan an acquired sharper language skills. The only way to truly learn a language is to be immersed and to be forced to utilize it in class and in everyday life. For this reason, CET is a very worthwhile program.
