  • I loved the other students that came on the trip. We were from all over which made it interesting.

  • Nothing, I felt it was an extremely successful trip.
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I wish I had known how much we were going to be traveling and on the road. We go to a lot of places and we move fast, but it is so worth it.

The Avid Adventurer
The wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal.
