It was worthwhile, I learned a lot in my courses and about Brazilian culture. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned to be independent, but I think I could have eventually learned this later in life without wasting a semester of college/ A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Besides improved language skills, I appreciate that I got to experience a different aspect of Brazilian culture that isn't often featured in US media. Minas Gerais is very different from Rio. It was worthwhile! Danielle - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My Portuguese skills got VERY good, I met amazing people that I know I'll keep in touch with, and I also got to better understand the complexities of Brazil's history, culture, and politics. It was absolutely worthwhile. Kristen Tuttle - Macalester College View Entire Review

I learned Portuguese. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I built a life for myself in a different country, culture, and language, which was empowering. I learned so much about Brazil's people and their perspective on life, which has made me reflect on my own values and priorities. This cultural exchange was invaluable for me.
